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

We built Laserfocus to simplify sales workflows inside Salesforce. It shows sales reps exactly what to focus on and automatically ensures all data lands in the right Salesforce fields. This helps GTM teams maximize selling time and trust their CRM data to make business decisions.

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

We live in Berlin and plan to run the company from there post-YC, with remote flexibility.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live and work in Berlin, which is affordable and well connected. The team works remote-friendly, so remaining based here allows us to balance local ties and distributed work.
