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

We built Parahelp to let companies solve complex customer support tickets end-to-end without writing code. It plugs into existing ticketing tools like Zendesk, Intercom, and Front, then connects to internal tools like Stripe, Slack, and Linear, plus your knowledge base and processes, so it can handle complicated cases by itself.

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

We live in San Francisco and Parahelp is based here - where the tech and support operations ecosystem is strongest.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco puts us close to our customers and partners, and lets us tap into local tech talent and support communities, which helps us build the right product fast.
