Frictionless payments for companies

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

We built a payments platform tailored for LATAM companies to manage and send payments easily without bureaucracy. It simplifies what is typically complex and slow in regional B2B and travel expense payments.

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

We live in Uberlândia, MG, Brazil, and the company is based here. After YC, we plan to remain in Brazil but tap into YC's network to expand.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Uberlândia is our home and where our customers are. Staying here keeps us close to the LATAM market we serve.
