Your one-stop shop to eat well in Brazil

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

We built an end-to-end marketplace that connects healthy grocery suppliers directly to customers in Brazil, cutting out middlemen to offer the lowest prices. Our platform handles everything from sourcing to delivery so customers can eat better without hassle.

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

We live in São Paulo, SP, Brazil and the company is based here. After YC, we plan to continue growing from São Paulo.

Explain your decision regarding location.

São Paulo is Brazil's largest city and the epicenter of our customers and suppliers. Being based here keeps us close to our key market and logistical hubs.
