Maker of consumer crypto apps

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

We're building consumer crypto apps like Launchcaster, a community platform for launching and discovering crypto projects; Frameboard, a visual curation app and protocol; Launcher Actions, a smart contract mini-app platform; and Maindrop, a Venmo for NFTs that makes transferring digital assets easy and social.

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

We live in Austin, TX, with a remote team. The company would be based in Austin after YC but remain fully remote-friendly.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Austin has a strong tech community and crypto interest. Remote work lets us tap talent outside Austin while keeping a core local presence.
