Cosa fa Caper

Caper focuses on compacting Amazon-Go's technology (image recognition, sensor fusion and artificial intelligence) into a smart shopping cart, allowing each shopper to throw her groceries into the cart and self-checkout without cashiers. The technology is looking to fundamentally transform physical retail and rapidly scale into existing grocery stores.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Plug-and-play cashier-less retail

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

We build a smart shopping cart that uses computer vision, sensor fusion, and AI to let customers shop and self-checkout without cashiers. The cart recognizes items as shoppers put them in, so stores can add cashier-less checkout quickly without restructuring store layouts like Amazon Go. It's meant for grocery stores that want to modernize but can't afford a full redesign.

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

We are distributed; the company does not have a fixed location now and would remain remote or flexible after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is distributed and works remotely to stay lean and flexible. Since our product sells to retail chains nationwide, we don't rely on a single location and want to keep close to engineers and retail expertise wherever they are.
