No-code data syncing between your systems

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

We're building a no-code web app that syncs data between internal databases, business systems like Stripe or Salesforce, data warehouses, spreadsheets, and HTTP APIs. Users can connect their systems without writing custom ETL scripts or hiring a dedicated data engineer for every integration. Our product solves the difficult and repetitive problem of moving data accurately and reliably across multiple platforms, so teams can focus on using their data rather than assembling pipelines.

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

We live in San Francisco now, and the company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and where our early users are. It's a hub for startups and data teams, making it easier to engage with users and find engineering talent. Remaining here helps us stay connected to our market and grow with the right network.
