Data integration & insights for government

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

We build a platform for state and local governments that integrates housing and real estate data from multiple sources. Our product helps officials make decisions that promote safe, stable, and affordable housing by providing clear insights drawn from complex datasets.

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

We live in Boston, MA, and the company is based here as well. After YC, we would remain in Boston.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Boston has a strong civic tech community and access to local government customers. Being here puts us close to our early users and partners in the public sector.
