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

We built a platform offering live afterschool classes for Spanish-speaking kids aged 4 to 15. Kids can pick from a large variety of classes - anything from TikTok choreography to astronomy - paying a fixed monthly fee that lets them attend as many as they want.

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

We live in Barranco, Lima Region, Peru, and the company is based here with some remote work.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Barranco because it's where we know the market and can operate efficiently. Being local helps us connect with Spanish-speaking families for whom our product is built.
