Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

AI-assisted data analytics

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

We are building an AI-assisted data analytics platform that helps analysts write SQL queries faster, cheaper, and with fewer errors. Our product uses AI to generate and optimize SQL, making complex data analysis accessible to teams with varied data expertise. We focus on improving productivity for data teams at companies that rely heavily on SQL.

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

We live in San Francisco and operate remotely as well. After YC, we plan to keep Mercator based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and where our network and potential customers are concentrated. Remoteness allows flexibility, but the Bay Area is still the best hub for product development and customer engagement.
