Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Language learning through video chat.

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

We built Verbling to connect people wanting to learn languages with teachers via live video chat. Our platform lets users practice speaking in real time with native speakers or instructors without needing to travel or attend classes in person. It's focused on improving fluency through conversation, something hard to replicate with apps or text-based tools.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco gives us direct access to technical talent and a strong startup community, which helps us move faster and find partners. Being here also puts us close to early adopters interested in language learning technology.
