Copilot for product teams

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

We are building an AI-powered assistant that helps product teams listen to user feedback at scale. Our product processes and analyzes user data so teams can quickly identify what to build next and improve their product.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here and operates remotely as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where most of our product and engineering talent is, and it's where our early users are. The remote aspect lets us tap into a wider talent pool while keeping a local hub.
