Idea

A pregroupoid is a precategory in which every morphism is an isomorphism.

Definition

is-groupoid-Precategory-Prop :
  {l1 l2 : Level} (C : Precategory l1 l2) → Prop (l1 ⊔ l2)
is-groupoid-Precategory-Prop C =
  Π-Prop
    ( obj-Precategory C)
    ( λ x →
      Π-Prop
        ( obj-Precategory C)
        ( λ y →
          Π-Prop
            ( type-hom-Precategory C x y)
            ( λ f → is-iso-Precategory-Prop C f)))

is-groupoid-Precategory :
  {l1 l2 : Level} (C : Precategory l1 l2) → UU (l1 ⊔ l2)
is-groupoid-Precategory C = type-Prop (is-groupoid-Precategory-Prop C)

Pregroupoid :
  (l1 l2 : Level) → UU (lsuc l1 ⊔ lsuc l2)
Pregroupoid l1 l2 = Σ (Precategory l1 l2) is-groupoid-Precategory
