Invoice to payments platform for enterprises

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

We built a platform that helps enterprise services firms, software companies, and marketplaces get paid faster by automating invoice to payment. Our product offers options like Pay Now via FedNow, Pay by Card, Pay by Crypto, and Pay Later up to 12 months on $1M invoices. This solves the cash flow issues enterprise clients face with slow or manual payment processing.

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

We live in London and New York City. After YC, our company would remain based in those global financial hubs.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We operate from London and NYC because these are centers for the enterprise clients and payment markets we serve. Being close to these customers is essential for building relationships and understanding their payment needs.
