Group buying for Fresh in Indonesia's tier 2 cities

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

We're building Bakool, a group buying platform focused on fresh produce for Indonesia's tier 2 cities. Our product connects customers through an agent network, enabling them to buy fresh groceries cheaper than retail and have them delivered locally.

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

We live and operate in Jakarta. After YC, our company would remain based in Jakarta to stay close to our customers and fresh produce suppliers in Indonesia.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Jakarta is our home and the central hub for Indonesia's e-commerce and delivery networks. Staying here keeps us connected to our market, fresh produce suppliers, and logistics partners. It's the natural base for a business serving tier 2 cities across Indonesia.
