Sell beyond the store.

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

We built Seer, a tool that helps retail salespeople send personalized, shoppable Lookbooks via email and SMS to their customers. The product makes it easy for sales associates to go beyond the physical store by creating customized collections their customers can shop directly from their phones or inboxes.

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

We live across Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and remote locations, and plan to base the company in the Bay Area after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in the Bay Area puts us close to top technical talent and potential retail customers who understand digital transformation. Our team is already distributed here, so it fits our current working style and network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Seer YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Seer's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Seer would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
