We live and work in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and plan to keep Afrostream based here after YC.

Paris gives us access to European distribution partners and telecom operators like TF1 and Orange who have signed with us. It's also a hub for reaching the 15 million people of African descent in Europe and easily connects us to Africa.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Afrostream şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Afrostream'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Afrostream gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
