Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Turbocharge customer acquisition through SaaS partnerships

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that connects SaaS companies to create exclusive partnerships for customer acquisition. It lets companies find and activate partner channels where they can offer their products to each other's customers, accelerating growth without traditional advertising.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Simon is based in Palo Alto, CA, and Ning works remotely. After YC, we plan to keep the company based in Palo Alto due to our networks and proximity to potential partners and investors.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Palo Alto because it's where we live and where most SaaS founders and decision-makers are concentrated. Being local helps us build trust and close partnerships faster.
