Marketing automation for mobile and web

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

We built Marketfox to simplify marketing automation by using AI to help websites and apps attract, convert, and engage visitors more effectively. Our platform focuses on both web and mobile channels, aiming to increase customer acquisition and retention through smarter automation workflows tailored for those environments.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA, with a remote team structure. Post-YC, we plan to keep our base in San Francisco and remain remote-friendly.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to other startups, investors, and technical talent we need. Being remote allows flexibility and access to a broader talent pool, which suits our small team.
