Shopify for Real Estate Developers

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

We are building a SaaS platform that helps real estate developers manage and sell their projects online. Our product streamlines processes like property listings, customer management, and sales tracking, tailored specifically to real estate developers' needs.

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

Our core team is based in Cairo, Egypt, with some remote contributors. After YC, we plan to continue operating from Cairo while scaling our remote team globally.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Cairo because that's where our market and customers are. Real estate development in Egypt is complex and deeply local; being on the ground helps us build the right product and relationships.
