Crypto Exchange and Payment API Gateway

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

We have built an API gateway that integrates crypto exchange and payment processing tailored to Latin American users. Our product allows people to protect their savings by easily buying, selling, and using cryptocurrencies through local-friendly infrastructure. We focus on simplifying access to dollar-pegged digital assets for users facing unstable currencies.

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

We are based in Buenos Aires, CABA, Argentina currently and will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Argentina is where we understand the problem intimately and where we can reach our initial users directly. Remaining here keeps us close to the market and regulatory environment we navigate and lets us maintain control as we grow.
