Hi HN, we're Bianca and Fernando, founders of Portão 3 ( https://portao3.com.br/ ). We help companies in LATAM (Latin America) with their corporate travel, expenses and payments. We traveled a lot to visit clients in our previous companies, and realized that the corporate travel market had a lot to evolve technologically. Latin America didn’t have a startup helping companies and work travelers with a real all-in-one…

Congrats on launching, it is always nice to see more startups in LA. The first question that came to my mind seeing your landing is that it's everything in Brazilian Portuguese. Your market now is only BR? Because the rest of the countries in LA speaks Spanish (with a few colony exceptions).

Are you planning to open to the rest of the countries? Have you already customers in Chile, Argentina, Mexico?

Thanks!

Hey pal (and anyone else having a similar issue)!!

If you look at the top right hand corner, you’ll see a globe icon. That icon handles translations - the site is available in Brazilian Portuguese, English and Spanish.

Hi YC, We’re Darrell, Jibril, and Robrecht, the co-founders of Appollo ( https://www.tryappollo.com/ ). Appollo is a single API to launch your app to all eCommerce platforms. Appollo enables you to create 1 app with our APIs and launch it to all the eCommerce platforms while also letting you maintain it as 1 app. Previously, you had to create and maintain an app separately for Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommer…

Hey! As someone who isn't super familiar with this space, I'm a bit confused about who your target user is. At first I thought it was for people who have a mobile app and want to publish it on a bunch of stores, but the APIs are all about querying products and customers, so I guess it's for integrating with eCommerce platforms? A concrete example use case on your website would help explain this to me a lot!

Doesn't the name kind of clash with some already existing, relatively well known software? I was sort of confused when I saw the name of your company.

I have some personal experience with this. I think what you are trying to do is commendable. Group therapies are also pretty expensive and not accessible for most people except in extreme circumstances.

The thing is if you're having say, 10 people for a 1 hour session, that gives each person about 6 minutes to share. But really more like 4 - 5 minutes after overhead. I think that is still worth _something_ (12 dollars per session sounds about right, edit: you may be able to go a few dollars higher), but you are basically trading off quality and cost here. It's going to be hard to actually build a connection and make it meaningful.

(edit: to be clear - the cost here isn't necessarily the lever - whether you charge 5 dollars per session or 25 dollars per session - you will need to make the 1 hour meaningful for the 10 people who are in the meeting, which will be the hard part IMO)

We are building ContainIQ ( https://www.containiq.com/ )! We provide Kubernetes native monitoring instantly with pre-built dashboards and easy to create monitors. A one-line install that takes 5 minutes to set up and it just works. By using eBPF we’re able to correlate kernel-level metrics with Kubernetes objects. Our current users are using our product to track and get alerted on things like p95/p99 latencies, Kuber…

Congrats on launching!

One question about containiq though which I could not figure out with the skimming of the link. How it compares to (istio + prometheus + grafana)?

Sounds interesting!

I’m on GKE. How does this compare against Cilium and the new Dataplane V2? https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes...

Sounds like you have more work curating dashboards at the least. And maybe this bolts on to the standard kube-proxy dataplane so folks don’t need to change that?

Hey friends, you’re working on something extremely important and it’s a real honour to be here for your launch thread. I’m celebrating my four year anniversary of getting out of a cardiac ward and to be blunt, I wish this had been invented four years ago.

Seriously folks, wonderful work - this is really cool.
