Global mobility platform for companies and employees
We're building a platform that simplifies relocating employees across borders. Our product combines immigration case management, compliance tracking, and personalized support in one tool for HR teams and their employees. It helps companies manage international hires without drowning in bureaucracy or scattered spreadsheets.
We live and operate from Hamburg, Germany with a remote team. After YC, we would base the company where it makes sense operationally but likely keep a strong presence in Hamburg and continue supporting remote work.
Hamburg is where we started and built our network. Our team is distributed, which fits the product's global mobility focus, so physical location is flexible. We want to stay connected to the German market where a lot of our early customers are and also remain open to remote talent.
