Online therapy platform for Spanish-speaking Latam

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

We built Selia as an online platform connecting individuals with certified psychologists and psychiatrists via video calls for one-on-one therapy. Along with therapy sessions, we provide self-guided tools like mood tracking and journaling. Our focus is making mental health services affordable and accessible to Spanish speakers in Latin America and beyond.

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

We are based in Bogotá, Colombia, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Bogotá because it's where we live and where the demand for quality mental health services in Spanish is growing fast. It's a big Latam hub and the right place to build a Spanish-language mental health platform.
