Help offline LatAm SMBs accelerate cash flow

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

We built AI collection agents that remind, collect, and negotiate bills on behalf of offline Mexican SMBs like corner shops. The goal is to help these businesses manage and accelerate their cash flow, a problem no one else in the region is addressing at scale.

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

We live and work in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, and after YC the company will remain based here to stay close to our primary customers and market.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Monterrey because that's where our core market is - offline SMBs in Latin America, especially Mexican corner shops. Staying local connects us directly to these businesses and lets us build with real customer feedback.
