What Arengu does

Arengu allows developers to build frictionless signup flows in minutes. Large companies like Airbnb, Uber or Revolut, dedicate a full engineering team to build and optimize their signup flows. Most companies cannot dedicate these resources, and Arengu helps them deliver an optimized signup flow that boosts conversion rates by 20-30%.

Build frictionless signup flows in minutes

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

We built a platform that lets developers create signup flows without dedicating an entire engineering team. Our tool simplifies integrating signup processes, helping companies optimize conversions without the usual complexity and time investment.

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

We live in A Coruña, GA, Spain, with the team mostly remote. After YC, we plan to keep the company based here while scaling globally.

Explain your decision regarding location.

A Coruña is where all three founders are from and where we built the product. We have no plans to relocate because remote work lets us tap broader talent and serve international clients efficiently.
