Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Collaborative online brainstorming and idea sharing

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

We built Thinkature, a web-based tool for real-time online collaboration that lets teams brainstorm visually through shared sticky notes, drawings, and free-hand notes. It's designed for remote and distributed teams who need a place to sketch out ideas and make creative plans together live.

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

We currently don't have a fixed location; Drew works remotely. After YC, the company would likely be based where the founder is strongest and able to connect with early users and partners.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Since Thinkature is a web app built by a single founder working remotely, we have flexibility. The location focus will be where product development and early user engagement align best, which is currently wherever Drew Harry works from.

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private.
