Automatic software R&D capitalization

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

We built software that automates the process of capitalizing software R&D costs. Our product plugs directly into developer workflows, capturing time spent on development automatically so accounting teams don't have to chase engineers for timesheets.

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

Jay and Neha live in San Francisco and remotely. After YC, the company would be based in San Francisco, CA.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco because that's where both founders live and where a lot of our target customers - finance and accounting teams in tech companies - are located.
