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

We built a pay-over-time product tailored for renters and moving customers. Our solution integrates into moving and rental workflows via widget, API, or property management software. It removes upfront cost barriers for renters and improves net operating income, while lowering bad debt for property managers.

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

We live in Mountain View, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're rooted in Mountain View where we have access to tech talent and a strong startup network, which helps us move fast and connect with customers in the Bay Area rental market.
