What Salvy does

Salvy is a mobile carrier for businesses in Brazil. Over 1800 companies use Salvy to manage over 20,000 mobile lines, cutting costs by over 50%. The founders have worked many years together in Brazil's largest fintechs (Nubank and EBANX). Today, every carrier in Brazil has roughly the same network quality - it isn't a differentiator. If you're an IT manager who needs to deploy 2k lines, you want an integrated and seamless solution. You need to deploy this resource, fast. Salvy provides a software layer that makes deploying and managing mobile lines a fast and efficient process, integrated with HRIS, ERPs, and others. This is a massive market: there are 55 million b2b mobile lines in Brazil, which adds up to 5 billion dollars in ARR in just one country.

Mobile carrier for businesses in Brazil

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

We built a platform that lets Brazilian companies quickly deploy and manage thousands of mobile lines through software integrated with their HR and ERP systems. Instead of dealing with slow carrier processes, IT teams automate provisioning and control of mobile plans, cutting setup time and costs in half.

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

We live in Curitiba, PR, Brazil, and intend to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Curitiba is where our founders live and work. It's a growing tech hub in Brazil and close to many of our early customers, which lets us stay connected to the market we serve.
