Dex의 사업 내용

Dex is a personal CRM that reminds you to keep in touch with the people you would otherwise forget. Dex helps turn your acquaintances into your allies. Going beyond the superficiality of social networks requires commitment. If you remember to keep in touch thoughtfully, you can turn the interesting person you met at a networking event into a friend that has your back. I built Dex after failing to keep up with the tools I tried (Airtable, Notion, etc) for relationship management. Installing an actual CRM like Hubspot felt like a wrong fit for my informal relationships -- these people were 'my team,' not customers. Dex is a lightweight personal CRM that’s easy to stick with. Key to Dex is a Chrome extension that enables you to manage relationships while you’re in Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, and the social apps you already use. Dex can also send you actionable reminders (daily, or based on your calendar events) to log your interactions for next time. By using Dex, you can: - Build stronger relationships, by sending you a nudge to follow-up. - Be more thoughtful, by helping you remember where you left off. - Become a superconnector, by making connections you wouldn’t otherwise remember.

Personal CRM that reminds you to keep in touch

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

We built a personal CRM that reminds you to keep in touch with people you might forget. It helps turn casual acquaintances into meaningful relationships by sending follow-up reminders and letting you log interactions easily. The core is a Chrome extension that works inside the social apps you already use like Facebook and Twitter, plus actionable reminders that tie into your calendar.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based there as well, with some team members remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are and where our network is. Being here helps us stay close to users and talent, while remote team members add flexibility.

Dex의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Dex의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Dex과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
