AI Workforce for Distributors and Manufacturers

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

We're building an AI workforce that automates quoting and order entry for distributors and manufacturers. Our product plugs into their existing ERP systems, follows their standard operating procedures, and learns from their team's tribal knowledge to improve accuracy and efficiency over time.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and Ventura would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right ecosystem for enterprise AI startups and access to early users in industrials. We're already embedded in the local tech and industrial scene, which helps us move faster.
