What Pushbullet does
Pushbullet connects your devices, making it easy and automatic to share almost anything between them. Our mission is to bridge the gap between your phone, tablet, and computer, enabling them to work better together. Why is this important? Simple: in the past few years, smartphones and tablets have taken over people's digital lives. Sharing data between them and with computers, however, can be a real pain. We make it easy and automatic.

Company
Pushbullet
Push things to your other things.
We built Pushbullet to connect your devices - phone, tablet, and computer - and make sharing files, links, notifications, and messages effortless and automatic. Instead of juggling complicated steps or emailing yourself files, you just push whatever you want between devices instantly.
We live and work remotely, mostly from San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company will be based in San Francisco.
San Francisco is where our network and potential users are concentrated, plus it makes it easier to connect with investors and partners after YC.
