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

We deliver 30-minute postpartum recovery and training sessions via telehealth to people who experience pelvic floor prolapse after pregnancy. Our product combines live coaching with conversational AI and biometric data to help people recover faster and rebuild strength post-childbirth.

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

We live in New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, and remote. The company would be based out of New York or remain distributed after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is distributed between New York, Los Angeles, and remote locations because postpartum care users are spread across the country. Being remote or bi-coastal makes it easier to reach diverse patients and recruit specialized clinicians.
