All-in-one spend management for businesses

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

We built a platform that handles bill payments, automated local transfers, and issues corporate cards for businesses in Latam. Our product simplifies managing company expenses and cash flow in a region where payment processes are often slow and fragmented.

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

We currently split time between Santiago, Chile and Mexico City. After YC we plan to keep being based in Latin America to stay close to our customers.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Latin America because the payment infrastructure there is fragmented and outdated. Being local helps us understand real customer pain and build a product that actually works for businesses in these markets.
