The Trading Terminal For Crypto Traders

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

We built HyperTrader to make crypto trading faster and more efficient. It's a trading terminal that puts real-time position updates, secure encryption, and streamlined workflows into one place, helping traders execute quickly without juggling multiple tools.

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

We live and work remotely, with HQ in Austin, TX. After YC, we plan to keep the company based here and continue remote work to attract talent and stay flexible.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Austin offers a strong tech community and good resources for fintech startups. Remote work lets us tap into talent beyond one city. This balance keeps us agile and connected.
