We built an ecommerce platform that lets creators and entrepreneurs sell any kind of product - physical, digital, services, or events. Our platform includes product management, affiliate tools, and payment processing that converts checkout to 180+ currencies and languages, designed to scale sellers' global reach.

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

We operate primarily from São Paulo, Brazil and have a remote team distributed across locations. After YC, we expect to keep a remote-first setup anchored in São Paulo.

Explain your decision regarding location.

São Paulo gives us access to Brazil's growing creator and entrepreneur community, which is our core market. Remote lets us hire talent worldwide while staying connected to a fast-growing Latin American ecommerce ecosystem.
