App to read fiction stories as visual novels

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

We built an app that transforms fiction stories into visual novels. Readers can experience stories enriched with images, videos, and audio, bringing a new format to storytelling for both writers and readers. Instead of plain text, stories become multimedia experiences that are more immersive and flexible.

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

We don't have a fixed office location; the team works remotely. For YC, we would be flexible with relocating or organizing operations remotely as needed.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are currently distributed but open to where it makes the most sense to build and scale our product. YC emphasizes flexibility and access to networks, which is why we want to be part of it regardless of location.
