Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Weav is the universal API for commerce platforms

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

Weav builds the digital infrastructure that connects small businesses directly with financial institutions. Our API lets commerce platforms integrate payments and financial services smoothly, bridging gaps between merchants and banks that are hard to connect due to legacy systems.

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

We are currently based in New York, NY, and the company will remain based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York because it's a hub for both startups and financial institutions, which aligns with our mission to connect small businesses to banks. Being here helps us stay close to customers and financial partners that we integrate with.
