UAE's small business payments platform

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

We build a payments platform that small businesses in the UAE use to accept digital payments. Our product handles everything from onboarding merchants to processing and settling transactions, tailored to the local financial ecosystem.

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

We live and operate out of Dubai, UAE, with a remote team distributed around the region. Post-YC, we'll continue to be based in Dubai.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Dubai is where our customers and merchants are. The payments infrastructure and SME market here have unique needs we understand firsthand.
