Social bookmarking service
We built Kippt to be a collaborative bookmarking system for professional networks. It lets employees save content and web pages that are then searchable, organized, readable on all their devices, and easy to share with their coworkers. It's a place to collect useful content and teach each other within an organization.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here now and would remain here after YC.
We live in San Francisco because it's where we have our network and access to technical talent. Being here places us close to early users and investors who understand productivity and social tools for businesses.
