AI-assistant managing creator-brand deals

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

We built an AI-powered assistant that finds creators, reaches out to them, and manages the full collaboration process for D2C e-commerce brands. Our tool automates what used to be a manual, time-consuming process for brand teams and helps creators find straightforward, fair work with brands they like.

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

We live in Guadalajara, Mexico, with a remote team. After YC we plan to stay based here but expand our presence partly remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Guadalajara is where we all started building Lizza and it keeps our team close. The city has strong tech talent and lower costs than the US, letting us build faster and stay lean.
