Company
Vinco
Retaining employees in LatAm via education
We connect Latin American companies with online education programs for their blue-collar workers. Our platform makes it easy for companies to pay for courses like high school, college, and language learning. This reduces employee turnover by at least 2x, saving companies time and money on rehiring.
We live and are based in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, and the company will remain based here after YC.
We are rooted in Monterrey because it's our home and where we understand the market best. Latin America's large blue-collar workforce is local to us, so building here gives us direct access to clients, employees, and education providers.
