Financing platform for LatAm car dealerships

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

We are building a financing marketplace tailored for car dealerships across Latin America. Our platform connects dealerships with lenders, helping them get credit faster and on better terms. It simplifies and speeds up a process that is fragmented and slow in this region.

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

We currently live in Mexico City, and after YC the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mexico City is the automotive and fintech hub in LatAm where we have direct access to dealerships and lenders. Being local keeps us close to our network and customers, which we see as critical for understanding and solving their credit challenges.
