Simple invoicing

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

We built PayTango to replace complex invoicing software and manual invoices with a simple tool that lets small businesses quickly create and send PDF invoices from anywhere. It cuts out spreadsheets and word processors, so invoicing doesn't waste time or look sloppy.

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

We live and work in Mountain View, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mountain View has the engineering talent we need and proximity to important connections, so it's the right place to build PayTango efficiently.
