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

We're building Post.fm, a new kind of email inbox focused on making email more productive and manageable. It organizes and surfaces important messages to help busy professionals who get overwhelmed by their current email setup.

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

We live in London, England and the company would be based there, but we work remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose London because both founders live here and it's a major global business city with access to early users and potential partners. Remote work lets us stay flexible while keeping costs down.
