We are building a comprehensive real estate data platform that lets users instantly access rental comps, ownership, zoning, and financial data on any property or parcel of land. Our product combines the most accurate raw data with AI-powered tools tailored for private equity firms, developers, and brokers to make decisions faster and with less guesswork.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all live, and it's the hub for real estate tech and venture capital. It's also where our early users are based, so it's the natural place to build and grow Travo.
