So, is super easy find an usb type a hub. But I never find something that give me a bunch of usb c from usb c. I need more usb C, not A. Somebody know something could help me?

You could get a monitor that accepts display over USB-C and can also do power delivery. At work we use this one: https://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-z27-27-inch-4k-uhd-display

This means you need only one USB-C port for both monitor + charging. The monitor itself has multiple USB-ports including one USB-C port. So when the monitor is attached you still have 2x USB-C and 3x USB-A.

You may be able to find a cheaper models with similar features.

~edit: Here's a simple hub: Sitecom CN-386

I already have a monitor, yes without power delivery, but I don’t want a new monitor, I was thinking in something more cheap, I just need a few more usb c ports

Yeah, I understand. Just saying it's an option. The link I added at the end is a simple USB-hub that has power delivery and three additional USB-C ports.
