Digital lending platform for Brazilian farmers

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

We built a lending platform that enables independent agricultural loan advisors in Brazil to originate loans digitally and manage their operations more effectively. Our product focuses on small- and medium-sized farmers, simplifying and speeding up access to credit tailored to their specific needs.

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

We live in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, and would base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

São Paulo is Brazil's main financial and tech hub and close to our target market and partners. Being here helps us work directly with ag loan advisors and lenders in Brazil's heartland of agriculture finance.
