Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Meeting agendas, notes, & goals tied to OKRs

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

We make an app that helps managers run their 1:1s, team meetings, and OKRs all in one place. It ties meeting agendas and notes directly to the goals their teams need to hit, making meetings more effective and aligned.

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

We live in Toronto, Canada with a remote team. After YC, we'd be based wherever it makes the most sense to grow the company, including potentially remote or in the Bay Area.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Toronto is our home, and our team is remote, which lets us hire talent without geographic constraints. We want to stay flexible and global while also tapping into YC's Bay Area network during the program.
