Education benefits and leave management

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

We build a SaaS platform that helps employers manage education benefits like student loan repayments, 529 plan contributions, and tuition reimbursement alongside leave of absence requests. Our product integrates these two HR functions to simplify administration for HR teams and improve employee experience.

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

We live in New York, NY and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose to stay in New York because that's where our founding team is and where we have strong HR and education networks. It's also where our early customers are located.
