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

NetBeez is a Digital Experience Monitoring platform that helps IT teams support remote users by troubleshooting communication and network performance issues from the user's perspective. Our product deploys agents that continuously test network quality where users are, catching problems before users call IT support.

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

We are based in Pittsburgh, PA, with a remote team. After YC, we plan to keep Pittsburgh as our main base while maintaining our remote setup.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Pittsburgh is where the founding team lives and where we've built the core product. We believe staying here leverages our local network and keeps our small team productive while remaining flexible with remote work.
