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

We are building the first universal airline mile that anyone can earn and redeem across dozens of international airlines and hotel chains. Our product aggregates miles from different programs into one accessible currency so travelers aren't locked into a single airline's ecosystem.

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

We live in New York, NY, and we plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in New York because that's where our team already lives and works. It gives us access to a strong mix of travel industry contacts and tech talent.
