O que Luca faz

Pricing Strategy is one of the most powerful levers that retailers have at their disposal to create growth, yet it is underleveraged. Most retail pricing teams settle for making decisions in spreadsheets, shooting in the dark, and working backward from a cost-plus margin target, leaving a LOT of money on the table. Our founders experienced these problems at scale when they built pricing tech at Uber that made Uber a billion dollars in profit a year. They realized that retail was lacking the same quality and sophistication of price tooling. So, they built Luca. Luca is an AI-powered co-pilot for retail operators, which constantly identifies revenue and profit headroom, makes recommendations for price adjustments and saves countless work hours along the way. Luca is backed by Y Combinator, Menlo Ventures, and others.

The Modern Pricing Engine for Retail

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

We built an AI-powered pricing engine that helps retail pricing teams find revenue and profit opportunities. Unlike typical spreadsheet approaches, Luca continuously analyzes data, suggests price changes, and reduces manual work for retail operators.

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

We live in San Francisco, and Luca is based here as well, both now and would remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are rooted, and it puts us close to tech talent, investors, and potential early customers in retail tech.
