Lo que hace Yezza

Yezza makes it easy for small businesses in SE Asia to create storefronts on WhatsApp. Our MRR is $40K with $3M monthly GMV, from 1500 orders every day. We are profitable. Not only for selling goods & products, Yezza also built features to fit with many use cases in WhatsApp Commerce. For example, social media influencers use Yezza to deal with brands using WhatsApp. We found that customers also make table reservations through WhatsApp. Merchants pay us $12 per month & up to $0.25 per order. With 50M WhatsApp Business downloads in SE Asia, this creates a $7.2B market opportunity. Interestingly, a similar buying-via-WhatsApp behavior exists in Latin America & Africa. Previously, we bootstrapped a tech-enabled travel company to $12M in annual revenue, by selling travel packages using WhatsApp. We built & used this product for 4 years in our previous company. During COVID19, we offshoot it to become a standalone business called Yezza. Yezza is now backed by Y Combinator & angel who worked at Facebook/WhatsApp.

Storefronts on WhatsApp in Southeast Asia

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

We built a platform that lets small businesses in Southeast Asia set up storefronts directly on WhatsApp. Merchants create catalogs, send orders, and manage payments all in chat. We also support use cases like influencer-brand deals and restaurant reservations through WhatsApp, making commerce practical in a channel people already use daily.

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

We live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Kuala Lumpur is where we have built our initial traction and understand local small businesses' needs. SE Asia is our market and home, so operating here lets us move fast and stay close to our customers.
