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

We built a platform that makes it easy to book high-quality massages at home or office. Customers pick a time and place, and trusted therapists come to them. We handle background checks, payments, and scheduling to make massage accessible and convenient.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has a dense urban population that demands on-demand wellness services. It's also where we can find skilled therapists and early adopters interested in trying a new way to get massages.
