AI for Home Services

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

We built an AI automation platform that helps contractors who provide home services run their operations more efficiently. Our software automates tasks contractors usually do by hand, like scheduling, customer communication, and dispatching, freeing them to focus on the work itself.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are both here now and plugged into the Bay Area tech ecosystem. Staying in SF gives us access to talent, investors, and potential partners in a way that matches our ambitions and where we want to grow Maive.

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Maive's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Maive would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
