Dollar banking for people in Latin America

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

We built a neobank that offers Latin Americans a way to save, spend, and invest in U.S. dollars through a savings account, a Mastercard debit card, and investment options. Our product helps users avoid losing value due to local currency devaluation.

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

We live and are based in Bogotá, Colombia, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're building for Latin America, and being based in Bogotá keeps us close to our users and market dynamics. This proximity helps us move faster and stay deeply connected to local financial challenges.
