Pandai fills the demand with a solution that is better than the alternatives.\r\n\r\n👨‍🏫 Who We Are\r\n\r\nThe three founders are based in Malaysia and have known each other since high school, 23 years ago. \r\n\r\nAfter we graduated (from MIT & other US colleges), we started our first education company in 2007, focusing on coaching school students in STEM subjects.\r\n\r\nWe worked closely with students (many of them from underprivileged backgrounds) and saw firsthand the impact we’ve had on them. \r\n\r\nWe then realized that with technology, we could reach more students and bring more impact. Hence, we released Pandai in 2020. \r\n\r\n🚀 Present & Future\r\n\r\nCurrently, we have launched in our home ground Malaysia in 2020. \r\n\r\nSo far, 280,000 students have completed 83 million questions on Pandai, and 92% of users have seen some improvement in their academic performance. \r\n\r\nWe plan to expand to Southeast Asia and other emerging markets, a market of 100M+ school students.

Approval rates were weak, local methods were missing, subscriptions were hard to manage, and every country required a different setup.\r\n\r\nWe began by solving that pain directly, helping merchants collect more effectively across the region. As we went deeper, it became obvious that the real gap was not just billing software, but infrastructure. Companies needed a single platform that could abstract away local complexity and let them operate across markets with speed.\r\n\r\nThat is how Rebill evolved from solving recurring payments into building payments infrastructure." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator?

We wanted to build infrastructure with global relevance.\r\n\r\nYC helped us sharpen the story, move faster, and think much more clearly about category, ambition, and execution. It pushed us to simplify the message and focus on what truly mattered.\r\n\r\nThe batch and Demo Day helped us position Rebill as a company solving a fundamental infrastructure problem, starting with LATAM and expanding beyond it." }, { "question": "How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?", "answer": "We stay active in the YC community through Bookface, founder relationships, and ongoing use of YC resources across fundraising, hiring, product, and tactical problem solving.\r\n\r\nWhat continues to matter most is access to founders who are building with intensity and clarity. YC remains part of our operating environment, not just part of our history." }, { "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?", "answer": "Rebill started by addressing recurring billing and payment problems for companies operating in Latin America. Early on, we focused on helping merchants navigate subscriptions, collections, and the operational complexity of the region.\r\n\r\nThe first major inflection point was realizing that software alone was not enough. The deeper problem was payment infrastructure itself: local rails, local methods, acquiring, recovery, and settlement.\r\n\r\nThe second major inflection point came when we moved closer to the rails and began building direct infrastructure instead of depending only on third parties. That changed the economics, product depth, and strategic value of the business.\r\n\r\nToday, Rebill is building a broader payments infrastructure layer for LATAM and the US, with the long-term goal of becoming the financial infrastructure for underserved markets." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "The core problem is that companies expanding across LATAM and similar markets face fragmented payment infrastructure.\r\n\r\nThey need local methods, better conversion, subscription support, transparent settlement, and a fast path to launch, but the market is still dominated by patchwork solutions, slow enterprise processes, and country-by-country complexity.\r\n\r\nThis is a big problem because payment performance directly affects growth. Poor infrastructure means lower approval rates, less access to local demand, slower launches, and lost revenue.\r\n\r\nWe decided to work on it because we saw firsthand how large the gap was and how few companies were actually productizing a solution that developers and operators could use quickly." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Our long-term vision is to build the financial infrastructure layer for underserved markets.\r\n\r\nWe are starting with payments in LATAM and the US because that is where companies feel the pain most immediately: collecting money, scaling across markets, and doing it without operational chaos. Over time, we want to make entering complex markets as simple as launching in the most developed ones.\r\n\r\nIf we succeed, companies will no longer need to assemble fragmented providers, local entities, and manual workflows just to operate internationally. They will integrate once and scale across markets through infrastructure that makes difficult geographies feel simple." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/rebill", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2022/rebill.json", "year_founded": 2020, "city": "Buenos Aires", "country": "AR", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/rebill", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/rebillteam", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/rebill-inc", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ac317d3596d742abd3e551f40119a6ba9a7f3d40.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Brad Flora", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/brad-flora" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 43569, "full_name": "Nahuel Candia", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "Nahuel is the Founder and CEO of Rebill, building financial infrastructure for global companies in LATAM and the US.\nHe is an MIT-recognized entrepreneur who built 3 companies before 30.\nDeveloper since 14, he remains highly hands-on across product, engineering, and execution.\nBefore Rebill, he founded Shovel Apps and was CTO of Ando.la, later acquired by Moova.", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/nahuelcandia/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/dncandia", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/3e324ec6481088e92fa92133c49f2dcc6d2ecedd.jpg" }, { "user_id": 598544, "full_name": "Ariel Diaz Ailan", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Building the financial infrastructure platform for the Americas at Rebill.

In fact, there are dozens of reasons \\[insufficient funds, fraud, expired cards, AVS, SCA, invalid card, etc.\\], and solutions to each failure need to be applied individually. Let’s look at a few examples:\n\n1. **Batch Processing and Fixed-Interval Retries.** The majority of subscription payments and retries are processed in bulk during off-hours. If your customers are based in multiple time zones, this can increase payment failures and reduce the success rate of retries. Remember when you had to notify your bank when you were traveling? The concept is the same, a 3am charge is more likely to get flagged as fraud than a 9am charge.\n2. **Expired Cards or Invalid Card Numbers:** These are frustrating because you think you have to ask your customers to do something, surprisingly there are many cases when you don’t. When you lose a credit card and replace it, do you ever wonder how Netflix still manages to charge you? It’s all thanks to Card Account Updater and Network Tokenization — if you don’t have it implemented, it’s an easy win.\n3. **Customers with Insufficient Funds:** Timing is a critical factor, especially with these types of errors. If they don’t have funds, don’t force it. When retry attempts are spread out or targeted around periods of the month when cash inflow is expected, success rates will go up.\n4. **Payments that are incorrectly classified as fraud:** This can cause financial losses, as well as a negative impact on customer experience. It is important to prevent those legitimate payments from failing.\n\n\\-\n\n# **FLYCODE SOLUTION 💡**\n\n[**FlyCode**](https://www.flycode.com/) leverages ML and AI to provide Payment Optimization and smart payment retries to maximize subscription revenue and reduce churn.

In fact, there are dozens of reasons \\[insufficient funds, fraud, expired cards, AVS, SCA, invalid card, etc.\\], and solutions to each failure need to be applied individually. Let’s look at a few examples:\n\n1. **Batch Processing and Fixed-Interval Retries.** The majority of subscription payments and retries are processed in bulk during off-hours. If your customers are based in multiple time zones, this can increase payment failures and reduce the success rate of retries. Remember when you had to notify your bank when you were traveling? The concept is the same, a 3am charge is more likely to get flagged as fraud than a 9am charge.\n2. **Expired Cards or Invalid Card Numbers:** These are frustrating because you think you have to ask your customers to do something, surprisingly there are many cases when you don’t. When you lose a credit card and replace it, do you ever wonder how Netflix still manages to charge you? It’s all thanks to Card Account Updater and Network Tokenization — if you don’t have it implemented, it’s an easy win.\n3. **Customers with Insufficient Funds:** Timing is a critical factor, especially with these types of errors. If they don’t have funds, don’t force it. When retry attempts are spread out or targeted around periods of the month when cash inflow is expected, success rates will go up.\n4. **Payments that are incorrectly classified as fraud:** This can cause financial losses, as well as a negative impact on customer experience. It is important to prevent those legitimate payments from failing.\n\n\\-\n\n# **FLYCODE SOLUTION 💡**\n\n[**FlyCode**](https://www.flycode.com/) leverages ML and AI to provide Payment Optimization and smart payment retries to maximize subscription revenue and reduce churn.

In particular, I helped build a similar platform to Resonance at Dropbox that generated $100 million ARR. I wanted to start Resonance because 1) I felt there were many ways to improve that particular tool and 2) I wanted to bring that tool to other companies that need it but don’t have the bandwidth to build it themselves.\n\n> **The Problem:**\n\nFor companies that depend on product-led growth (primarily consumer/SMB/startup-centric companies), their website remains their most valuable marketing channel. Post-user onboarding, these companies rely on in-product messaging to drive feature adoption so they can retain users.\n\nUnfortunately, this sort of strategy only works at scale, and there are many challenges in doing so. Below are some non-trivial functionalities that modern companies require to launch effective campaigns with velocity:\n\n1. Code-based and no-code workflows for launching campaigns\n2. Campaign performance analytics\n3. Intelligent campaign targeting and experimentation\n4. Sophisticated campaign impression management\n5. UX flexibility (i.e. messaging should not be limited just to overlays)\n\nSolving this problem is crucial, as millions in ARR is left on the table if companies cannot properly scale their in-product feature discovery/awareness/education. Companies like Dropbox that have built tooling to address the above challenges have generated up to $100 million ARR from the increased user retention.\n\n> **The Solution:**\n\nSolving this problem requires building a centralized system where any stakeholder (technical or non-technical) can effortlessly launch campaigns to drive in-product feature adoption.\n\nHolistic assessment of campaign performance, global impression management, and optimized campaign targeting can only work at scale if there is a single system that serves as a repository for all campaigns and governs campaign creation.\n\nResonance addresses this by providing a central platform where developers and non-developers can both easily launch in-product feature adoption campaigns within minutes, with the above functionalities provided out of the box.\n\nBelow are screenshots of some important features in our UI (and there are many more).\n\n* No code builder with live preview on your website and experimentation\n * (**NOTE**: The preview will obviously be with your website and UI components - disregard my modal and website)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79089&key=user_uploads/570574/7339d733-3683-43bd-9fac-f23d881bfdf4)\n\n* Complex User Targeting\n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79089&key=user_uploads/570574/cc3cd9e1-809f-499e-b871-934e27807a38)\n\n* Sophisticated Frequency Management\n * (**NOTE**: We also have similar rules that apply globally for all campaigns)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79089&key=user_uploads/570574/f1b8a942-dc12-440f-8680-6c4dee517be4)\n\n* Global Analytics\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79089&key=user_uploads/570574/62457d65-c845-48ff-8877-569dfa707544)\n\n* Intelligent Experimentation (experiment up to 7x faster with 4-8x more variants)\n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79089&key=user_uploads/570574/53430985-a9d3-4c17-97eb-52bc56285c86)\n\n\n> Our Ask\n\n1.
