Subscription pharmacy for chronic patients in LatAm

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

We built a subscription-based pharmacy that delivers medicine monthly to patients with chronic diseases in Mexico. Our platform also simplifies insurance reimbursements, a major headache in Latin American healthcare. The product is a web and backend system that manages orders, deliveries, and expense claims so patients can focus on their health, not logistics.

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

We live in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico and Vitau is based there. After YC, we plan to continue operating here and expand in Latin America.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in Monterrey puts us close to our initial users and our team. Healthcare logistics and insurance vary widely by country, so staying local helps us build deep domain knowledge and trust before scaling.
