Helping busy professionals manage relationships

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

We built a tool that helps busy professionals understand and maintain their relationships. It integrates with existing contact and calendar systems to surface actionable insights, reminders, and context about conversations so users don't let important connections slip away.

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

We don't have a fixed location now, and after YC we would base the company where the team can focus and grow quickly, likely remote-first.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We've stayed location-agnostic so far because we wanted to build the product first and focus on users, not on physical space or headquarters. Post-YC, we want to stay flexible to attract talent and adapt quickly.
