Linkana
The leading SRM platform for LatAm
We built a supplier relationship management (SRM) platform tailored for enterprise companies in Latin America. Our product reduces lead time and cuts costs during supplier onboarding approvals by digitizing and integrating the entire process. Buyers use Linkana to streamline approvals and suppliers to submit and manage documents in one place, eliminating manual workflows that slow down procurement.
We live and work mainly in São Paulo, Brazil, with a remote team across LatAm. After YC, we plan to remain based in São Paulo while scaling our remote operations.
São Paulo is the business and logistics hub of LatAm where our earliest customers and contacts are. Being local keeps us close to buyer and supplier networks and customs regulations that are unique here. Remote work lets us tap talent across the region.
