Agent payment infrastructure with controls

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

We built payment infrastructure specifically for companies using human agents to spend money. Our product gives those agents virtual cards and bank accounts with programmable spend policies, approvals, and hard limits, all embedded in their workflows to make spending safe and auditable. Customers can bring their own agents or use ours, but the core is controlling spend tightly while enabling real payments by people.

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

We live in New York, NY, and the company would be based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in New York where most of our team and early customers are located. Staying here keeps us close to the financial and agent services ecosystem we serve.
