Popl
Your Complete In-Person GTM Platform
We built Popl to capture leads, scan badges, enrich data, and sync all that to a company's CRM at events and conferences. Our product uses AI and a proprietary data engine to turn in-person events into a measurable growth channel that companies can scale sustainably.
We live in and around New York, NY and the company operates both here and remotely. After YC, we'll continue to be based in New York with a distributed team.
New York is where we've built our traction and network. Remote flexibility lets us access talent and customers globally, and we want to keep that balance post-YC.
