At Moreta, we simplify payments for international travelers, letting you pay for anything using just your phone. Done is the hassle of searching for the best cash exchange rates or ATMs on your next trip. With Moreta, paying local merchants is easy. We came up with Moreta while on our own backpacking adventures. Watching locals pay with a simple scan while we fumbled with cards and cash. So, we created a solution. By syncing with local payment networks, Moreta lets you pay like a local securely and digitally, without needing a bank account in every country. We’re starting in Asia, where QR code digital wallets are taking over and are now the top choice at checkout. As these wallets start to join forces for cross-border payments, Moreta is the first to bridge the gap for international travelers from card-centric markets to tap into these local networks. Moreta will target 200 million travelers arriving in the region each year, who together have $410 billion in everyday expenditure.

No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

If you're behind Moreta: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
