We make smart connected luggage with an embedded scale, GPS, and remote locking features controlled through an app. Our first product, the Bluesmart Carry-on, solves common travel problems like overweight bags, lost luggage, and inconvenient locks.

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

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company headquartered there after YC.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Bluesmart şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Bluesmart'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Bluesmart gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
