Personalized coffee hardware and experience

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

We make connected coffee machines that personalize brewing for each user to change how people enjoy coffee at home. Our product learns user preferences and adjusts the brewing process accordingly.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company operates from there. Post-YC, we plan to keep the company based in San Francisco to stay close to technology partners and customers.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where the startup ecosystem is strongest. It's the best place to build a hardware and e-commerce company focused on consumer personalization.
