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

We built a social platform for remote and hybrid teams that runs virtual game tournaments and an ongoing office competition. Mixr includes built-in audio/video chat, a library of casual games and icebreakers, automatic breakout rooms, and company-wide leaderboards. It's designed to be simple and fun for managers to run and for employees to join without friction.

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

We live primarily in Toronto, Canada and are currently remote. After YC, we would remain based in Toronto and continue remote work.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Toronto is where we're located and built the product. We want to stay here because it's where our network and initial users are, and remote work lets us collaborate effectively.
