Growth automation platform for Amazon sellers

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

We build a platform that automates growth tasks for Amazon sellers. Our product starts with automating advertising and inventory management based on data, helping sellers scale without manual overhead. We plan to expand into other areas that accelerate brand growth on Amazon.

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

We live in Las Vegas, NV and operate remotely as well. After YC, the company will remain based in Las Vegas with remote team members.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Las Vegas gives us a cost advantage and good access to talent. Remote setup allows us to hire diverse team members while keeping operations lean.
