Collaborative data notebook for business teams

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

We built a tool that lets business teams bring in data from multiple sources, process it through a collaborative notebook interface, and then send cleaned or transformed data to wherever they need it - all in just a few clicks on a regular schedule. It's aimed at analysts and product teams who spend too much time gluing data pipelines together manually every day or week.

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

We're based in San Diego, CA and the company will remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Diego has been our home base since day one. Being here keeps us close to our initial users and lets us focus on product without the distraction or higher costs of bigger hubs.
