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

We built an AI-powered lead management and communication platform that helps businesses get and convert more customers. Our product centralizes messaging channels like calls and texts, automates lead responses with an AI employee available 24/7, and helps businesses collect reviews and drive repeat sales - all managed from one dashboard.

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

We live in Lehi, Utah, and the company is based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Lehi is where we started and built our early customer base. It's cost-effective and gives us access to a growing tech talent pool, so we plan to keep the company headquartered here after YC.
