AppLovin for the food community

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

We built a marketing and commerce platform for food brands and grocery retailers. Our product helps them promote and sell food products directly through digital channels that reach passionate food communities. It's designed to connect brands, retailers, and consumers more effectively than existing ad networks focused on generic verticals.

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

We live in New York City and the company is based there with a mix of remote team members.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York City is a hub for food innovation and grocery retail, which makes it the right place to build a food-focused commerce network. Being remote flexible lets us tap talent outside the city while staying close to industry partners.
