Manage email groups and publish web content
We are building a service that lets group organizers manage their email lists and create web pages in one place. It combines email list management, like Google Groups, with a WYSIWYG website creation tool, so users can publish updates to the web without extra setup.
We don't have a fixed location now, and after YC, we plan to base the company where we can best focus on development and growth, likely where the core team is located.
We are currently distributed but want to relocate or set up base where we can work closely, especially after YC, to move faster and make decisions face to face.
