Payment Platform for LatAm Micro and Small Businesses
We're building a personal loans platform tailored for self-employed and micro-business owners in Latin America. Our app issues weekly invoices seamlessly and processes payments without annual fees. This lets clients avoid complicated credit processes and focus on growing their businesses.
We live and operate in São Paulo, Brazil. After YC, we plan to keep the company based here, close to our users and partners in LatAm.
Brazil is the largest market in LatAm for micro and small businesses, which is our target. Being in São Paulo gives us direct access to this user base and the financial networks we engage with.
