A social feed for interactive AI Creations

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

We've built a mobile app where users scroll a social feed of interactive mini apps and games called "whips". These include trivia, quizzes, polls, and party games that you can play right inside the feed. Anyone can create their own whip directly in the app and publish it within minutes. Users discover, remix, like, and comment on whips made by others. The social feed makes interactive content the norm, not a niche.

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

We live in San Francisco, and Whip is based here now and will remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a hub for both consumer social startups and AI innovation. Being here keeps us close to talent and early users who want a new kind of social experience with AI-driven interactive content.
