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

We build a supply chain platform that connects farmers directly with restaurants and cafes in Indonesia. Our Ordering App lets B2B customers place stable, quality-guaranteed orders. We use an ERP system to forecast demand and measure supply performance. Farmers get a dedicated app with revenue guarantees and clear harvest targets, cutting out middlemen and stabilizing prices.

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

We live and operate in Jakarta, Indonesia, and will be based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Indonesia's food supply chain problems are local and severe. Being in Jakarta puts us close to our farmers and restaurant customers so we can manage logistics and relationships directly.
