Helping fleets find and pay parking tickets

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

We built a platform that automatically identifies when fleet vehicles are at risk of booting or towing due to unpaid parking tickets. Meter Feeder helps fleets locate outstanding tickets across multiple cities and pay them programmatically to keep vehicles compliant and avoid operational disruptions.

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

We live in Pittsburgh, PA, and will keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started in Pittsburgh where both founders live and have connections. There's no pressing need to relocate because we can serve fleets across the US remotely and Pittsburgh's lower costs help us extend our runway.
