Reinventing lifelong learning for the future of work

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

We build cohort-based courses aimed at replacing traditional master's degrees in Brazil. Our platform delivers hands-on learning led by experts from companies like Rappi, Nubank, Apple, and Google. The focus is on advancing tech careers with practical, real-time engagement rather than passive video lectures.

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

Fabio is based in São Paulo, Brazil, and Awari operates remotely with its core team here. After YC, we plan to keep the company primarily based in São Paulo while maintaining remote operations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose São Paulo because it's Brazil's tech hub with access to top talent and a large market of professionals seeking career advancement. Remote work lets us tap into talent beyond the city when needed.
