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

We build a generative AI platform that creates custom SEO-optimized websites and apps for home service businesses. Our product connects businesses to customers directly by syncing content with local listings, automating social media, and enabling online payments. It makes getting discovered and booked simpler and less expensive than traditional marketing funnels.

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

We live and have offices in New York, NY and Boston, MA. Post-YC the company would likely remain based in these locations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York and Boston because they have strong tech talent pools and vibrant home services markets with many small business customers needing digital tools.
