  • River Markets

    Led · Seed · Aug 2026

    Co-founded by CEO Oscar Levy and CTO Antonin Parrot, River Markets offers software, data links, risk-management tools and algorithms that let professional traders trade across disparate prediction-market venues. The founders began building trading software while working full time in quantitative and electronic trading roles and turned that technology into an enterprise platform after the tool generated seven-figure trading profits. River Markets launched its platform in May and says it is on track to exceed hundreds of millions of dollars in annualized trading volume by year-end. The company plans to use its seed funding to hire engineers, build faster and more secure systems, and expand sales and operations as it signs professional clients. The product targets institutional needs such as handling larger orders, limiting price swings from big trades, and enabling cross-platform execution.

  • Jota

    Led · Series A · Jun 2026

    Jota provides a conversational assistant that helps entrepreneurs manage finances by understanding text, audio and photos within WhatsApp and its own app. The product automates categorization of expenses, controls payments, records receivables, issues reminders, and produces proactive financial insights. With the launch of Jota 2.0 the company moved from a reactive responder to an agent that anticipates needs, reporting engagement up to five times that of the prior version in tests. Since its seed round the company has grown to about 300,000 customers and approximately R$3.5 billion in annualized transacted volume. Jota plans to use proceeds from its Series A to accelerate AI infrastructure development and expand assistant functionalities, including studying contextual credit offerings at the moment customers need liquidity. The company emphasizes serving entrepreneurs who manage finances conversationally rather than through spreadsheets or separate banking apps.
