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

We built a livestream shopping marketplace where buyers and sellers interact live across collectibles, comics, sneakers, fashion, and more. It's a place where sellers host live auctions or sales, buyers bid and chat in real time, and communities form around shared interests. Our product connects real people synchronously, making the buying experience social and immediate unlike static e-commerce.

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

We are based in Los Angeles, CA with a remote team distributed across other locations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles gives us access to key communities in collectibles and culture, plus strong talent and remote flexibility. We stay distributed to hire the best people and scale.
