Digital payments for businesses in Pakistan

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

We are building a single payments platform that integrates with local Pakistani payment systems and international options. Our product allows businesses and individuals in Pakistan to accept and make payments from one place without juggling multiple providers or unreliable solutions.

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

We live and work between San Francisco, CA, and remote locations. After YC, the company will be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We picked San Francisco as our base because it is where we can build our network, hire strong talent, and connect to investors while continuing to serve Pakistan remotely. The founders live partly in the US and have strong ties to Pakistan, so this dual presence helps us operate efficiently.
