Robots to automate concrete floor construction

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

We build robots that automate commercial concrete floor construction. Our robots let one operator do the work of six construction workers by handling the finishing and smoothing of concrete floors, a task that traditionally requires a large crew and is slow and labor-intensive.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC the company will remain based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We stay in San Francisco because it's where we can access the hardware talent and resources needed to build robots, and where we have existing networks to grow the company.
