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

We built a mobile wallet that lets people in Latin America receive, store, and send money using their phones. It combines nearly all functions of a traditional bank into one app, tailored to our market and users.

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

We live and operate mainly in Bogotá, Colombia, but our team works remotely as well. The company would remain based in Bogotá after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bogotá is where our users are and where we understand the local financial challenges best. Our team is rooted here, and we can build and test our product directly with the intended customers.
