Selfycart is a mobile app that allows grocery shoppers to scan items as they shop, pay directly through the app, and skip lines at checkout. Our product speeds up in-store shopping by removing the traditional wait at registers, targeting grocery stores wanting to improve their checkout experience.
We currently live and work in San Mateo, CA, and plan to keep Selfycart based here after YC.
We chose San Mateo because it's our home and close to retail customers and partners we want to engage with in the Bay Area.
