The "Shopify" for Online Schools

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

We built a Student Relationship Manager specifically for online schools. It tracks student attendance on Zoom, sends automated reminders, and helps educators stay connected and organized with their students.

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

We live in New York, NY and plan to base the company there post-YC, operating with a remote-friendly structure.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York has a strong connection to education technology and access to a network of educators and online schools. Remote work lets us collaborate widely without limiting talent.

Is this the real Virtually YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Virtually's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Virtually would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
