Operating system for business in LATAM

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

We are building the operating system for business in LATAM. On one side, we offer QUIK Super App, where users can order food, groceries, and goods with 30-minute delivery and pay in any currency. On the other side, we offer QUIK Pro, a suite for businesses to manage inventory, logistics, websites, and customer engagement, all integrated with the Super App to boost sales and customer satisfaction.

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

We live in Maracaibo, Zulia, Venezuela, and the company is based here now. After YC, we plan to keep the core team here while expanding across LATAM.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We built QUIK where the problem is worst: Latin America, starting in Venezuela. Businesses here have no software to run online operations or accept multiple currencies reliably. We know the market and user needs firsthand.
