Production planning software for construction

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

We built Vernox, a production planning system that helps construction teams coordinate their entire workflow. It lets project teams communicate work plans, track tasks week by week, identify look aheads, and remove bottlenecks. Unlike generic project tools, Vernox is tailored to construction's unique planning challenges, from small jobs to large sites.

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

We live in Berkeley, CA, and the company would continue to be based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Berkeley because that's where we live and where the construction industry mingle and tech scenes intersect well enough to find early users and iterate quickly.
