Software eats custom framing
We built an online platform that simplifies custom framing for posters, prints, photos, and more. Our site makes it easy to design your frame, preview it digitally, and order it at a lower cost and faster turnaround than traditional shops. We also offer hands-on support to make the whole process better.
We live and work distributed across Brooklyn, NY; Atlanta, GA; and South Lake Tahoe, CA. After YC we would continue to be remote with a base in New York.
We built the company across three cities to tap into diverse talent and because that's where we were based. Staying distributed lets us move fast without relocation hassles, and New York keeps us close to a big community of artists and customers.
