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

We are building neoncoral, an AI-powered social platform for consumers to create and share content effortlessly. It combines AI-generated media with social networking to make sharing more creative and spontaneous. Users can interact through AI-enhanced posts and experiences that feel alive and dynamic, something current social apps don't focus on.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where most of our initial users and AI talent are, plus it's where we're already embedded. Staying here keeps development agile and close to early feedback.
