Cosa fa Bright

Bright is Mexico’s #1 residential solar provider (think Sunrun for the developing world, starting first in Mexico). We provide the financing and software that enable thousands of student ambassadors and retail promoters to offer cheaper electricity to homes at no upfront cost, and we work with our network of hundreds of local installers and distributors to satisfy the resulting demand. Our first market is Mexico, which has more sun, higher electricity rates, and lower labor costs than the US. Bright's investors include First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and other top Silicon Valley firms.

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

We build financing and sales software that helps student ambassadors and retail promoters sell and install residential solar systems in Mexico. Our platform manages customer acquisition, payments, and works with local installers to fulfill demand, making solar accessible with no upfront cost.

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

We live in Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico, and the company will remain based here after YC, while operating remote where needed.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mexico City is where our customers and installers are. It has the right mix of sun, electricity pricing, and labor costs to build this business here rather than in the US.
