Move money programmatically

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

We build a platform that lets fintechs, banks, and businesses move money by connecting stablecoins to local payment rails in emerging markets. This solves the fragmentation and inefficiency of cross-border payments where traditional rails are slow or expensive. Basically, we automate the flow of funds between crypto and local currencies so our customers can operate globally without friction.

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

We live distributed and don't have a fixed headquarters. We plan to stay distributed after YC, working wherever makes sense.

Explain your decision regarding location.

No physical base is required because we're building a software platform servicing emerging markets globally. Being distributed lets us access talent and markets more effectively.
