Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Parker is a digital bank.

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

We built Parker, a digital bank that offers streamlined banking services. Our product lets individuals and small businesses manage their money online, focusing on straightforward banking without the friction and fees common in traditional banks.

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

We live in New York City and San Francisco. After YC, we plan to base the company in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose these locations because NYC connects us with the financial sector, while San Francisco provides access to engineering talent and tech networks. After YC, SF will be our main hub for growth and product development.
