We built a marketplace and platform that connects businesses with vetted professional photographers and videographers across the U.S. Our product handles everything from booking and logistics to staffing, editing, and delivery. We also created a roaming photo booth that sends branded photos instantly to guests and syncs contact info to CRMs - streamlining event photography.

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

We live and work from Boston, MA and remote locations. After YC, we'd stay based in Boston and maintain remote team members.

Boston has a strong tech and startup community, and it's where our team lives. Remote work has been part of our DNA, allowing us to access talent and clients nationwide.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Pretty Instant в YC?

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