Company
Conta Simples
All-in-one fintech platform for Latam SMBs
We built a financial platform that combines checking accounts, corporate cards, and expense management software tailored for startups and SMBs in Latin America. It solves the problem of fragmented financial tools by bringing everything into one product designed for this market's needs.
We live in São Paulo, Brazil, and the company is based here. After YC, we would keep the company based here as well.
São Paulo is the financial and startup hub of Latin America, giving us direct access to our market, customers, and local banks. Staying here lets us build deep regional expertise and relationships critical to fintech.
