One stop investment solution for retail investors in Latam

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

We built trii to give retail investors in Latin America a local platform to invest in stocks and other securities securely and in full compliance with local regulators. The product offers a faster, simpler investing experience tailored to local rules and payment methods, eliminating the need to rely on foreign platforms that aren't adapted to Latam markets.

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

We currently live in Miami, FL, and the company is based here. After YC, we plan to keep the company headquartered in Miami.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Miami is ideal because it allows us to operate legally under US entities while serving Latin American users efficiently. It's also a hub connecting Latam and the US, which helps with talent, regulation, and partnerships.
