Trela operates a social-commerce marketplace that enables neighbors to form groups, receive offers via WhatsApp, and buy premium food directly from suppliers with one-click web checkout to reduce costs and eliminate intermediaries. The product gamifies the group-buying experience, provides real-time updates, and relies on local group creators to organize purchases. Founded in 2020 and launched after participating in Y Combinator's Winter 2021 cohort, Trela has grown its team from nine to 32 employees and currently operates in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. Since its April 2021 seed round the company reports a 30x increase in revenue and average monthly growth of 45%. Suppliers currently handle deliveries while Trela tests its own delivery operations, and the company plans to expand into five more cities by the end of the year. Most of the new funding will be directed to product development and hiring.
