  • Altscore

    Participated · Series A · Sep 2024

    AltScore provides an AI-driven B2B credit infrastructure platform that enables companies to become fintech lenders and offer fully digital lending products to SME customers. Led by CEO Andrés Pérez, the platform is used by large enterprises in the region, including Coca-Cola, to reach millions of underserved SME customers. The company’s mission is to provide fair and timely credit access to small and medium-sized enterprises in Latin America. AltScore intends to use the new capital to expand operations and accelerate product development. AltScore raised $8.5M in a Series A to support that expansion. The company is based in Cuauhtemoc, Mexico, and Washington, DC. AltScore is a Mexico-based fintech that builds B2B lending infrastructure and Lending-as-a-Service (LaaS) APIs for underwriting, alternative data, scoring and other lending modules. The company began operating in Ecuador in January 2021 and serves clients across South, Central, and North America. AltScore’s platform lets businesses embed credit products to increase customer retention and lifetime value, and enables existing lenders to leverage individual lending modules. It raised $3.5M in a Seed funding round to continue developing its end-to-end LaaS solution. Planned product work with the new capital includes adding modules such as Smart Collections, Loan Management, and Embedded Lending. The company intends to use the funds to help B2B partners deploy credit products and improve access to fair and timely liquidity for MSMBs in Latin America.

  • Mercately

    Participated · Seed · Aug 2024

    Mercately provides backend infrastructure that lets brands sell on WhatsApp by integrating with payment and CRM tools (Stripe, HubSpot) and using AI agents to handle customer communication, inventory checks, payments and purchase orders without leaving the app. The company launched in 2022 and now serves more than 1,000 companies across 20 countries. Mercately is profitable and has surpassed $1.5 million in annual revenue, and has been growing roughly 3.5x year-over-year. Its product targets the widespread consumer behavior in Latin America of using WhatsApp for commerce, and the startup integrates with existing platforms to simplify sellers’ workflows. Future plans cited by management include hiring additional AI engineers to improve chatbots and expanding Mercately’s presence in Brazil and the U.S., where it already operates but lacks strong market share.

Taxo serves roughly 8,000 taxpayers and 800 accountants and has processed over 50,000 tax declarations. The company plans to expand product functionality—adding tax payment assistance—and to grow its customer base by 160%, targeting 200,000 declarations by the end of 2024. Taxo intends to expand beyond Mexico into Peru and Colombia to broaden its regional footprint. The recent $1.2M pre-seed funding will be used to further develop features and accelerate market expansion.
