Learning Platform for Math Competitions

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

MathDash is an online platform that makes working through math textbooks addictive. It's designed for students preparing for math competitions. Our product tracks their progress, helps them improve through practice, and motivates consistent study by showing tangible improvement.

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

We both live in San Francisco, CA, and intend to keep MathDash based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where we have access to tech talent and users. It's also convenient for YC's location and community, which allows us to focus on building and refining MathDash.
