Analytics stack for omnichannel retailers and brands

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

We built an end-to-end analytics stack that consolidates sales, stock, and customer data from direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels. Our product gives brands and retailers accurate reporting on costs, markdowns, and promos, all in real time during meetings. It requires no infrastructure or integrations on the user side - we handle data intake from retail portals, EDI, or spreadsheets and tailor analytics to each customer's products.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and would keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are and where our target customers and retailers are concentrated, making it easier to sell, support, and iterate on the product.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка 42 в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных 42 (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде 42 представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
