B2B marketplace for construction material in Brazil

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

We built a platform that lets large contractors manage orders, deliveries, and payments for construction materials from dozens of suppliers in one place. It replaces their manual process of juggling spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls with suppliers spread across Brazil.

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

We live in São Paulo, SP, Brazil and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

São Paulo is Brazil's construction hub, so it's where our customers and suppliers are. Staying here means direct access to the market and easier operations.
