Subscriptions for neighborhood businesses
We built a subscription platform tailored for neighborhood businesses to help them build recurring revenue and stronger customer relationships. It makes it easy for local retailers and shops to offer subscriptions directly to their communities, managing billing and engagement in one place.
We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we live and where most of our early customers are. It has the right mix of local businesses struggling to build sustainable revenue and a dense customer base that cares about neighborhood shops.
