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

We live in Lehi, Utah, and the company is based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Lehi is where we started and built our early customer base. It's cost-effective and gives us access to a growing tech talent pool, so we plan to keep the company headquartered here after YC.
