Find content that helps you relax and fall asleep

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

We built a video platform dedicated to ASMR, a relaxation technique that helps people fall asleep. Our product organizes and surfaces content specifically for users looking to relax, de-stress, and sleep better. It's tuned to this niche where existing platforms fall short.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC, the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the tech and startup community is strongest. Our user base is global but to build and hire effectively we want to stay in this environment.
