What Sameplan does

Sameplan is a customer-facing collaboration tool that enables sales teams to align with prospects, increase efficiency, and close more business. Enterprise deals can be very complex, rather than managing these high-value relationships over email, Sameplan acts as the central hub for the deal.

Customer-facing plans for sales teams

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

We built Sameplan, a collaboration tool that sales teams share directly with prospects to align deal steps and communications. Instead of the usual email chains and siloed notes, our app becomes the central place where both sides see the plan, next actions, and status updates. This keeps complex enterprise deals transparent and on track.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC we'd keep the company based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in San Francisco because it's the hub for enterprise SaaS and sales-tech companies. Being here lets us meet customers, partners, and investors easily, which is crucial for a B2B sales tool.
