Kitemaker의 사업 내용

Kitemaker is a faster and more collaborative alternative to Jira optimized for remote teams. It's helping teams spend less time and effort on collaboration by providing a place for discussing and documenting initiatives, it collects activities and discussions across tools, and it's fast and simple to use. Unlike tools like Jira and Notion, our primary focus is helping software development teams spend less time coordinating across tools and roles so they have more time figuring out and building the things their users want.

A faster and collaborative alternative to Jira

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

We built Kitemaker as a tool to help remote software teams spend less time coordinating across tools and roles. It combines discussion, documentation, and activity from multiple tools into one fast and simple workspace focused on software development. Unlike Jira, it's built specifically for remote teams to collaborate more efficiently without the usual overhead.

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

We live in Oslo, Norway and the company is based there, but our team works remotely. After YC, we would remain remote and flexible, likely keeping Oslo as a base since that's where we currently operate.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being based in Oslo with a remote team lets us tap into local talent and maintain focus while staying connected with users globally. Remote work is core to our product, so we live it ourselves, which helps us build something genuinely useful for distributed software teams.
