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

We built an AI-powered selling assistant that lets anyone sell anything in seconds. Users point their camera at an item, and we identify it, price it, and instantly create listings across multiple marketplaces, including our own. It takes hours or days out of the traditional selling process and makes it accessible to people who don't want to spend time listing items manually.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and SellRaze is based here. After YC, we would continue to operate from San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where the consumer and AI talent is. It keeps us close to tech ecosystem and potential marketplace partners.
