What Pry Financials does

Pry makes it simple for companies to manage their budget, hiring plan, financial models, and cash runway. Today, most people plan for their business once a quarter. It's done in Excel - buggy, boring, confusing, and really time-expensive. A lot of people have tried to solve this and only found moderate success or failed. We're the team to do it right.

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

We built a tool that makes it simple for companies to manage their budgets, hiring plans, financial models, and runway in one place. Our product replaces the quarterly, spreadsheet-heavy planning process with an intuitive online platform that founders and finance leads can update live and use to make better decisions.

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

We live in San Francisco and remote locations. After YC, the company would remain based in San Francisco with a distributed team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is primarily located, and it's the best place to connect to early users, investors, and partners in finance and startup ecosystems.
