Lead routing automation within Salesforce

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

We built a lead routing tool that lives inside Salesforce. It uses a drag and drop canvas to let sales teams create routing rules visually and automatically assign leads to the right sales reps. We also provide actionable metrics to improve speed-to-lead and support account based sales efforts. Essentially, it keeps reps from dropping leads or missing follow ups inside Salesforce.

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

We live in Austin, TX and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Austin has a strong tech scene and is where our founders live and work. Keeping the company here lets us stay close to our network and early customers.
