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

We are building a platform that combines corporate cards with much higher limits, business accounts with fast wire transfers and FDIC insurance, and spend management tools to help companies track and control expenses in real time. The tool covers startups to larger enterprises and supports multiple countries and currencies. The goal is to automate expense reporting and give finance teams better control before spend happens.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is our base because it's where our network is, customers are, and where fintech and startups thrive. This also helps us recruit and stay close to key payments partners.
