Find any product, in stock nearby
We built a platform that helps people find products available for purchase in local stores and get them delivered the same day. It aggregates inventory data from nearby retailers and connects users to local stock instantly.
We live in San Francisco and Santa Cruz, and after YC the company would be based in the Bay Area.
We are both in Northern California, close enough to collaborate easily and tap into the Bay Area's retail and tech ecosystem.
