What Nano Technologies does

Nano is an income streaming app which pays workers daily instead of monthly for retailers and manufacturers in South East Asia. This is essential because these employers compete for workers with the gig economy, which pays daily with a flexible work schedule. Nano integrates seamlessly with any HRM/Attendance Software from employers, helping them save turnover costs and build a more engaged and productive workforce.

Payroll app paying workers daily in SEA

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

We built an income streaming app that lets retailers and manufacturers in Southeast Asia pay their workers daily instead of monthly. Our product integrates with any existing HRM or attendance system, so employers can offer daily wages easily. This helps them compete for labor against gig economy jobs and reduces turnover.

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

We live and work in Hanoi, Vietnam, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Hanoi because that's where the demand is. Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam, has many retailers and manufacturers with high worker turnover. Being local lets us deeply understand and serve this market.
