Virtual goods commerce platform

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

We are building a platform where users can buy and sell virtual goods, primarily targeting gamers and game developers. Our product handles the commerce of in-game items, making it easier to trade and monetize virtual assets securely.

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

We currently live in Mountain View, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mountain View is where both founders live, which makes working together easier. It also puts us near other tech startups and resources we can tap into.
