On-demand delivery Superapp for Iraq

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

We're building Lezzoo, an on-demand delivery Superapp tailored for Iraq. It connects users in cities like Erbil with local merchants for food, groceries, and more, all through one app. This is the first locally built platform solving delivery challenges in a market underserved by global players.

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

We live and operate in Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and after YC the company will continue to be based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose to base Lezzoo in Erbil because this is where we understand the market and where the delivery gap is biggest. There's no local competitor addressing these needs with a comprehensive, on-demand platform.
