Dating & relationship coaching sessions

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

We built a platform where individuals and couples can instantly connect with certified relationship coaches to get actionable advice on dating, interpreting texts, handling breakups, and rebuilding trust after cheating. It's live coaching focused on real-time relationship issues.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here with a remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are based because it's where we live and where we can find both coaching talent and early users. The team is remote but we keep SF as the company hub.
