Online & In-Person Kids Activities

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

We built a platform where parents can discover and book kids' activities - both online and in person. This includes classes, camps, museums, and exclusive events. Our product unlocks access to experiences that are often hard to find or book through traditional channels.

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

We live in New York, NY, and the company is based here with a remote team. After YC, we would continue operating primarily from New York with some remote employees.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is the center for parents and family activities, plus we have our networks here. Being local helps us build relationships with activity providers and understand our customers.
