App-Store for SaaS: one invoice, user management

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

We built onetool to give businesses a centralized app store for all the SaaS they use. It replaces multiple logins and invoices with one login, one user management system, and a single invoice across business software from project management to video calls to document signing. It solves the headache of managing dozens of SaaS tools separately.

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

We live in Berlin, Germany, and the company is based here with a remote team. After YC, we'd maintain Berlin as home base but embrace remote work to tap global talent.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Berlin's tech ecosystem fits us well, and we have personal ties here. Remote flexibility lets us access talent outside Berlin while keeping our core team in a known hub.
