Loops is an email sending platform built specifically for SaaS startups. It has a Notion-style block editor for crafting emails and focuses on transactional email deliverability. We also provide pre-built engagement loops companies can plug into to boost revenue and user engagement.

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

We live and work remotely across Washington, DC and New York, NY. After YC, we will continue running the company from these locations and remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our founders are already distributed between DC and NY, and our team is remote, so we plan to keep this setup. It lets us hire the best people without relocating and keeps costs manageable.
