Founded in Caracas in 2022, Cashea rebuilt access to credit in Venezuela by offering fully digital, instant, zero-interest installment financing for everyday purchases both online and in stores. The company says it has more than 10 million consumer accounts, a network of 40,000 storefronts nationwide, and has enabled more than 100 million transactions since launch. Cashea’s product lets shoppers make a first payment via the app or a QR code in-store and settle the remainder in equal biweekly installments at zero interest. The company has taken operational steps during crises—waiving late fees and advancing cash to merchants after a recent earthquake—to support liquidity for merchants and consumers. Cashea plans to use its new capital to continue expanding access to credit across Venezuela and to build additional payment, savings and merchant tools that extend beyond its core installment product.

Uzum operates as a platform serving consumers and entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan and is expanding its offering into digital financial services such as digital payments and consumer financing. The company plans to deploy the $70 million loan from the Eurasian Development Bank to scale these services across the country and to invest in technology, distribution, and customer acquisition. Management and observers expect the capital to help grow revenue from payments and consumer finance channels by reaching millions of users and entrepreneurs. The debt financing increases Uzum’s leverage, which could boost growth but also raises exposure to credit-quality and balance-sheet risk in a developing regulatory environment. The transaction coincided with the opening of the bank’s representative office in Tashkent and is noted as the bank’s first investment in Uzbekistan since the country joined, which may confer reputational benefits. The association with a multilateral development institution could also help Uzum access future multilateral or cross-border funding.

XRobotics builds the xPizza Cube, a countertop robot roughly the size of a stackable washing machine that uses machine learning to apply sauce, cheese and pepperonis. The machine can produce up to 100 pizzas per hour, is retrofittable for different pie sizes and styles (including Detroit and Chicago deep dish), and the company says its robots are producing 25,000 pizzas per month. Units lease for $1,300 a month on three‑year terms and Rodionov says the device saves roughly 70–80% of staff time on repetitive tasks. XRobotics positions the product as assistive technology to fit existing kitchens and price points, and counts both mom‑and‑pop shops and large chains among customers, though it declined to disclose customer counts. The startup launched in 2019, introduced an earlier, larger robot in 2021, and launched the current compact model in 2023. The company plans to expand to Mexico and Canada next.
