Wireless internet for rural homes

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

We make a wireless internet service designed for rural homes with poor broadband options. Our product includes proprietary hardware and software that create reliable, affordable internet connections where traditional ISPs don't reach or perform well.

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

We don't have a fixed location; both founders work remotely. After YC, we plan to stay remote to keep costs low and remain flexible.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Since our product serves rural and dispersed customers, we don't need to be based in a tech hub. Staying remote lets us focus resources on improving our service and reaching our users directly.
