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

We built a platform where LatAm users get brokerage accounts in USD with features tailored locally, like instant cash deposits from Mexico, a robo-advisor, and customized portfolios. It's meant to make both securities and crypto investing accessible for retail customers who don't have easy access to global markets or crypto tools that fit regional needs.

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

We live in Mexico City, and the company is based there and remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We focus on Mexico City because it's a major financial hub in LatAm. Our users are primarily Mexican retail investors, so proximity to users, local banking, and existing fintech ecosystems is crucial for building features our market needs.
