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

We built Cococart to let small merchants set up a web store with no code and no design needed. It targets sellers who still take orders by WhatsApp or phone and want a simple way to go online without complicated apps or technical setups.

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

We live in Singapore and plan to base the company there after YC while supporting remote team members.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Singapore is where we live and base our team. It's a hub for Southeast Asia and connects us to many local merchants who need our product.
