Flexible employee benefits via virtual cards
We built a SaaS platform that gives companies a virtual card to fund flexible benefits for local and remote employees worldwide. Employers set budgets and choose perk programs, then employees pick merchants they want to spend on within the defined controls. This gives companies clear billing and control while making benefits genuinely useful for employees anywhere.
We live and operate primarily out of Guadalajara, Jal., Mexico, with a remote team. After YC, we plan to continue being based here and remote.
Guadalajara gives us access to strong technical talent and allows us to build for Latin America from the ground up. Remote lets us expand reach without adding overhead.
