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

We built PerShop to be a personalized online clothing store that tailors the shopping experience individually. It's a curated e-commerce platform where users find apparel and cosmetics suited to their style and preferences without sifting through generic listings.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is our home and central to our market. It's the best place to connect with fashion-conscious consumers and potential partners in e-commerce and tech.
