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

We built a fulfillment service that helps small e-commerce merchants in Nigeria ship their goods locally and internationally. Our platform integrates with their online and social channels, handling inventory, shipping, and delivery logistics so they can focus on selling.

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

We live in Lagos, Nigeria, and the company is based there. After YC, we plan to remain headquartered in Lagos where the merchants and logistics networks we serve are.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Lagos is the center of e-commerce in Nigeria and the hub for most of our merchants. The last-mile logistics and supply chain challenges we solve are very specific to this location, so being here keeps us close to the problem.
