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

Chipax connects payments, invoices, and reconciliations to show real-time accounts receivable and payable for SMBs. We focus on finance teams in small to medium businesses in Mexico and Chile, helping them manage cash flow without messy spreadsheets or disconnected tools.

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

We live in Santiago, Chile. The company is based here but operates remote as well, and we would continue being based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Chile is where we know the market and legal framework. Our earliest customers are here and in Mexico, so it makes sense to stay close to where we have domain expertise and user feedback.
