Hear from the founders

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)

I started the company self-funded. So I had to work full-time on another job and can only work at this company at my spare time including weekends until about 10 months later. This company started at my garage.

How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?

I heard Y Combinator has incubated many great companies and I wanted to be part of them. That is why I applied for it.
