Create & sell online courses

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

We built a platform that lets anyone in Brazil create and sell online courses. It handles payment processing, video streaming, and managing students all in one simple tool.

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

We live in Santa Catarina, Brazil, and after YC we'll base the company here with remote team members scattered around.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Brazil because the e-learning market here is growing fast but still underserved for local creators. Santa Catarina is our home and has good tech talent, plus remote work lets us pull from all over the country.
