Move anything, anytime, anywhere

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

We built an app that connects people with movers and trucks instantly. With a tap, you can have someone pick up new furniture, deliver Craigslist purchases, or move your entire apartment. We make moving stuff easy, quick, and reliable, eliminating the hassle of renting vans or finding help.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here, with some remote team members as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the density of users and the better infrastructure for logistics startups. It's also where we found both talent and early customers, making it the natural place to build Lugg.
