Automate inventory for insurance processes

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

We build software that automates inventory and contents processing for insurance companies, public adjusters, and restoration firms. Our product tackles the labor-intensive process of creating accurate inventories and estimates, which currently costs billions and thousands of man-hours. The software also supports adjacent workflows related to insurance claims and estimation.

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

I live in San Francisco, CA and the company will be based in San Francisco after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where I currently live and is a hub for tech talent and insurance clients, so it makes sense to base the company here.
