The AI data analyst for consumer brands

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

We built an AI analyst that connects to consumer brands' data sources and continuously scans for revenue opportunities, cost leaks, evolving trends, and anomalies, delivering actionable insights without needing a dedicated data team. Brands like Hershey's use Menza to understand their data and react fast.

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

We currently live in London, United Kingdom, and we plan to base the company there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team and initial customers are all in London. Staying local lets us work closely with early users and partners while keeping focus during YC.
