Ops platform for forward deployed engineers

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

We are building the first ops platform tailored for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Our product connects customer conversations, engineering tasks, and project delivery in one place. This lets teams turn custom services work into repeatable, scalable processes that achieve SaaS-like margins. Essentially, we help FDE teams organize and optimize their bespoke service projects so they don't waste time juggling tools and lose margin.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we can best reach our customers in B2B software and engineering, and tap into talent. Being at YC will only deepen the network and opportunities here.
