What Materee does

Materee is an e-commerce platform for construction materials in Indonesia. Construction is one of the most important industries in Indonesia.

E-commerce platform for construction materials

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

We built an e-commerce platform that streamlines how contractors in Indonesia buy construction materials. Instead of making dozens of calls and texts, they can order directly from suppliers through our site, saving time and reducing errors.

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

We live and work in Jakarta, Indonesia. After YC, the company will remain based in Jakarta to be close to our customers and suppliers.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Jakarta is the heart of Indonesia's construction industry where most of our users operate. Being local gives us direct access to customers and better understanding of their needs.
