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

We built a national vegan specialty store online. Our product curates vegan food initially and plans to expand to other categories like beauty, healthcare, and home goods. We use customer data to predict which products will succeed and launch them exclusively, giving vegan consumers a better range of curated products in one place.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and after YC the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where our customers and suppliers are concentrated. Staying here lets us move fast on product and operations.
