Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

We train AI engineers and connect them with companies.

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

We build a training platform that teaches AI engineering, ML, data science, and AI product engineering, focused on Latin American talent. Our product also connects graduates with companies looking to accelerate AI adoption, making hiring AI talent easier for businesses that struggle to find qualified candidates.

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

We live and are based in Buenos Aires, CABA, Argentina, with a distributed remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our location in Buenos Aires gives us access to a large untapped talent pool in Latin America and proximity to companies that want to build AI capabilities but lack local engineers. Remote work allows us to grow the team beyond Argentina while keeping strong local roots.
