The safest way to buy and sell collectibles

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

We built Mage Market, a real-time bid/ask marketplace for collectibles, primarily trading cards. When a buyer's bid and a seller's ask meet, the transaction happens automatically. We act as active middlemen and have experts verify every card before shipping to eliminate counterfeits and fakes. Our platform matches trusted buyers and sellers while preventing fraud.

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

We live in Kiel, SH, Germany, and the company is currently remote. After YC, we would base the company wherever YC requires, likely in the Bay Area to be close to the network and investors.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started in Kiel because that's where we live, but we'd relocate or be remote post-YC since the accelerator is in Silicon Valley and that's where we best grow the company. Starting remote allows us to focus on product and build initial liquidity with early users.
