Turns spreadsheets into internal apps and customer portals

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

We build a no-code platform that turns users' existing spreadsheets, Airtable bases, or databases into customizable web applications. These apps serve internal teams, partners, or customers, letting people interact with, update, and manage data without needing to use the raw spreadsheets or write code themselves.

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

We live in London, England, and the company is currently remote. After YC, we plan to remain remote but could consider locations based on YC's guidance.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We built Stacker in London because that's where we are based. Remote work suits our small team and diverse customer base, allowing us to hire talent unrestricted by location.
