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

We're building Station, a browser extension that acts as the central interface for a team's knowledge. It connects all the apps, documents, notes, and messages a team uses into one place, automatically linking related files and highlighting relevant info when it's needed.

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

We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and plan to base the company here and remotely after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Paris is where we are based and have built early traction. Staying here lets us keep close to our team and early users while remaining remote-friendly for growth.
