Mobile app for creating pro-quality social videos

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

We are building a mobile app that lets users create social media videos with professional-level design and animation tools. Our product targets creators who want polished, engaging stories and posts without needing complex desktop software.

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

We currently live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and we plan to base the company in the Bay Area after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We want to move to the Bay Area for proximity to YC, access to Silicon Valley's network, and to better serve a global market from a major tech hub.

Is this the real Mojo YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Mojo's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Mojo would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
