Online marketplace for home garden and lawn supplies

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

We built a marketplace that connects people who want everything for indoor and outdoor gardening with 24,000 local shops across the US. Instead of searching multiple local stores or big online sites with limited garden options, users find what they need all in one place. Our platform is the first to bring this huge offline category online in a meaningful way.

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

We live in New York City, San Francisco, and remotely. After YC, the company would be based in whichever location provides the best access to our team and customers.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We operate in multiple locations to tap into different talent pools and proximity to customers and shops. Staying flexible lets us adapt easily.
