### 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?)

We're both international students who applied to 3,000+ jobs between us last year. After spending several hours a day retyping the same fields into Workday, we started building Tsenta for ourselves, all throughout our summer Internships, and launched out of our dorm at Rose-Hulman.

### What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?

The average student applies to 200-400 jobs per cycle and spends 15-30 minutes per application on menial data entry -  hundreds of hours wasted on broken forms instead of networking or preparing for interviews. 

Every existing tool is either cloud-based and a black-box, or a slow chrome extension - and both are priced unnafordably for students, which is why we built transparent, on-device automation that actually works - and can fill out forms end-to-end.

### What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?

To make hiring effortless for both job-seekers and recruiters alike.
