Embedly makes embedding links simple and automatic

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

We built a platform that transforms plain URLs from over 100 sites like YouTube, Flickr, and CrunchBase into embedded media or rich previews automatically. This removes the pain of managing different embed codes and APIs for publishers and product teams.

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

We live in Boston, MA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in Boston because that's where we're already located and working. Remaining here keeps us focused and lets us build without disruption.
