Collaborative platform for utility stakeholders

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

We build software tools that help regulated utility stakeholders collaborate better to deliver improved services at lower cost. Our product, Ready Digital Infrastructure, enables utilities to coordinate digital service delivery and infrastructure planning across teams and partners.

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

We live in San Francisco and have a remote team. After YC, we'll base the company in San Francisco, CA.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the engineering talent and investor community we need. Our team is remote, so we stay flexible but keep SF as the HQ for recruiting and funding.
