Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Make the world happier.

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

We built 9GAG as a global social media platform where people share and engage with meme culture, entertainment, and fun content. It's a place for conversation and laughter, accessed across multiple platforms, with a large global audience.

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

We are primarily based in Hong Kong and operate remotely as well. After YC, we intend to keep our base in Hong Kong while expanding our remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Hong Kong is our home and where we started 9gag. Being in Asia connects us to a broad user base and content creators, but our remote setup lets us tap talent worldwide.
