Company
Seawise Capital
Trade finance for Indian exporters
We provide working capital to Indian SMEs that export goods by offering collateral-free loans secured against invoices from their large overseas customers. Our product discounts these international invoices so exporters don't have to wait for payments. We focus on exporters who struggle to get traditional trade finance due to lack of collateral.
We currently live and work in New Delhi, DL, India, and plan to keep the company based there after YC.
Our user base and operations are focused on Indian exporters, so it makes sense to stay close to our customers and market in New Delhi. We want to maintain strong local relationships with SMEs and financial institutions here.
