First API solution for tax returns

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

We are building an API that allows individuals and corporations to claim back value-added tax globally. Our product automates and simplifies VAT recovery by integrating directly with banks to return money to users with speed and trust.

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

We live in London, England, and the company will be based in London after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose London because it is a global financial hub with access to fintech talent and customers interested in cross-border VAT recovery.
