We build a route optimization engine and fleet dispatching algorithms offered as a SaaS API. Our product lets last-mile delivery companies optimize thousands of deliveries in seconds to offer same-day and next-hour delivery and increase profit per delivery by 15%. FedEx and USPS use our engine in production today.

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

We live in Ontario, CA, USA, and our team is distributed remote. After YC, the company will remain in Ontario and remote to keep access to talent and customers.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Ontario because it is close to key logistics hubs and allows us to build a remote-first team. Being remote lets us hire the best engineers regardless of location.
