Treasury management for SMBs optimizing idle cash in Latam

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

We built a regulated treasury management platform tailored to startups and SMBs in Latin America. It helps users optimize their idle cash by offering customized investment, cash management, and working capital strategies designed specifically for the local financial environment.

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

We live and work primarily in Mexico City, with some remote team members. The company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mexico City is where we understand the market and regulation best. It's where SMBs need better treasury tools and where we can have the most impact.
