Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

A social platform to connect people in person

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

We are building Meetyu to help people discover and meet others nearby who share their interests. Our product focuses on spontaneous, real-world social connections rather than traditional online networking. We made it because socializing is often limited to existing circles or online-only, leaving many opportunities missed.

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

We both live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right mix of tech talent and early adopters interested in new social apps. Being local lets us iterate quickly with users around us.

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