Alumni Q&A

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
The idea came after co-founder Lucas ran out of mobile data during a business trip to São Paulo and found there was no app to add more; a call to customer support took an hour and a half to add a single GB. That experience led the founders to focus on the telecom space.

Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
