Smart Target for Shooting Sports

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

We make smart shooting targets that light up when hit. Our targets connect to smartphones and provide real-time feedback through analytics and interactive games to help shooters improve their skills.

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

We don't have a fixed location now. After YC, we would base the company where it makes sense for hardware development and user support, potentially near tech hubs or shooting communities.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our current remote setup reflects the early stage and small team size. Post-YC, we'll consider relocation to be closer to manufacturing partners or customers to speed iteration and growth.
