Operating system for African travel businesses

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

We built a platform specifically for travel businesses in Africa that integrates payments, invoicing, payroll, accounting, and operations into one system. It helps them cut through the chaos of juggling multiple tools so they can focus on selling travel and managing their operations efficiently.

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

We live in Nairobi, Kenya, and Triply will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Nairobi is the heart of our market and where we have deep domain knowledge and customer connections. Staying local keeps us close to our users and the challenges unique to travel businesses in Africa.
