Tools and APIs for SaaS pricing and packaging

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

We build infrastructure for SaaS companies to define and deploy any combination of features and pricing models. Our APIs let non-technical teams make pricing and packaging changes without engineering help, enabling rapid product-led growth experiments.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA, but the team is distributed remote. After YC, the company would remain headquartered in San Francisco with a remote-first team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco provides access to SaaS startups and potential customers, plus YC is located here. Our remote team model lets us hire the best engineers independent of location.
