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

We built a mobile app that connects tennis players looking to compete in leagues, find practice partners, and improve their game. It matches you with people nearby so you actually get on court more often. We focus on organized, competitive play, unlike casual match finders.

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

We live in Denver, CO, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Denver has a strong outdoor tennis community and a growing tech scene. Being here helps us stay close to our core users and build a product tuned to their needs.
