Realtime Data Connectors

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

We're building a realtime data connector for event-driven architectures, like what Fivetran does for batch data. Our product captures and streams events as they happen, so companies get instant updates on changes in orders, prices, and more without building complex integrations themselves.

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

We live in Mexico City and the company is currently based here and remote. After YC, we would likely remain based here while expanding our team globally.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in Mexico City lets us tap into local tech talent and keep costs manageable. Remote work means we can collaborate across time zones, and YC's network will help us reach global customers and teammates.
