Modern finance platform for the Middle East

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

We built an AI-powered finance platform that lets businesses in the Middle East instantly issue corporate cards to employees, control spending, and automate financial workflows. Our product solves the mess of traditional expense management, approvals, and payments in one place tailored to regional needs.

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

We live and operate in Dubai, UAE, and the company is based there. Post-YC, we expect to stay in Dubai to keep close to our customers and market.

Explain your decision regarding location.

The Middle East is our main market and Dubai offers a growing fintech ecosystem. Being local means we can deeply understand our clients' needs and build relevant solutions faster than foreign competitors could.
