The SuperApp for neighbourhood merchants in Africa.

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 merchants in Africa order inventory from suppliers, pay digitally, and access a wallet with credit facilities. They can also collect digital payments and resell financial services like airtime and bill payments in their communities.

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

We live in Nairobi, Kenya and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Nairobi is the hub for our users - neighbourhood merchants - and where we have built our local team and market presence. Staying here keeps us close to the problem and customers.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, MarketForce şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

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