Universal CRM integration for B2B SaaS apps

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

We build a single API layer that B2B SaaS developers use to integrate their apps with any customer's CRM, no matter how customized. This lets their users access app features directly from their CRM and interact with existing CRM data, including custom fields and workflows, without building separate CRM integrations each time.

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

We live in San Francisco and work remotely. After YC, we'll continue to be based in San Francisco with a remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our network and talent pool are. Remote lets us be flexible without losing access to key resources and team members.
