Digital pharmacy for Latam, saves money and time

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

We built a digital pharmacy platform for Latin America that guarantees the best prices and offers 30-minute delivery. Our product lets users order medicines and health products online and get them fast, saving time compared to traditional pharmacies. We handle full service including order management, payment, and delivery logistics.

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

We live and work in Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador. The company is based here and would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We picked Quito because it's our home and where we understand the healthcare and pharmacy market well. Fast local delivery is also easier to manage here initially. Staying here gives us a practical base to grow in Latam.
