Short Term Rentals for Business Travelers in Brazil

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

We built a platform that offers short term rental accommodations tailored specifically for business travelers in Brazil. Apartio streamlines booking apartments with flexible subscriptions suited to travel schedules and corporate needs, solving local pain points in payment and availability that generic platforms overlook.

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

We live and work in São Paulo, SP, Brazil. After YC, the company would remain based in São Paulo to stay close to our user base and local market.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose São Paulo because it's the largest business hub in Brazil, which means our users and key customers - business travelers - are concentrated here. There is value in being local to understand these complexities and build partnerships.
