Tech-enabled fulfillment provider in MENA

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

We built software that connects local merchants to fulfillment centers and integrates with last mile delivery partners. Merchants send us their inventory, we store and pick orders, then coordinate deliveries to end customers. This solves the complexity and cost merchants face handling local deliveries themselves in the Middle East and Africa.

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

We live in Cairo, Egypt, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Cairo is where we have local expertise, network, and a strong local market for fulfillment services that isn't served well yet. Staying local helps us move fast and understand our customers.
