App for B2B companies to find customer stories

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

We build a platform that scans a company's existing data sources - like call recordings, NPS responses, and Salesforce logs - to identify happy customers and generate case study content automatically. Our product finds genuine success stories B2B marketing teams can use without manual hunting or interviews.

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

We are based in San Francisco with a remote team distributed across the US. After YC, we plan to stay distributed but anchored around SF for investor access.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a hub for SaaS and B2B startups where our customers and potential partners are. Remote work lets us tap talent nationwide, keeping the team small and flexible.
