Same day local delivery, via API

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

We built a local delivery platform that connects businesses to courier companies through an API. Our system dispatches and routes deliveries for items like laundry, gifts, office snacks, and meal subscriptions in San Francisco, running Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. We use mobile apps and algorithms to track customer locations and improve efficiency.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here, both now and after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the density of customers and couriers needed to prove same-day local delivery through an API. It's also where our users and courier partners are, making it the natural base for Rickshaw.
