Password and identity management for teams

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

We built a dashboard that helps teams manage shared passwords and user accounts for cloud apps. It connects to multiple cloud services so companies can easily create, edit, and remove user access without IT involvement.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in San Francisco because it's where our team is based and where most early customers and cloud app providers are located. Staying here lets us move fast on product and customer feedback.
