  • Trinio

    Led · Seed · May 2026

    Trinio develops a platform that connects critical stages of the purchase journey and logistics operations into a single intelligence layer for large, multichannel retailers. Its recently introduced TrinioOS suite orchestrates checkout, fulfillment and omnichannel processes with support from AI agents. The startup serves over 50 enterprise customers—brands include Vivara, Osklen, Reserva, Asics, Casas e Video, Tania Bulhões, Polishop and Usaflex—and targets retailers with structured digital operations, high order volumes and multiple distribution centers and stores. Clients using Trinio report a 10–15% increase in checkout conversion, about a 25-second reduction in average checkout time, 5–15% reductions in operational and logistical costs and fewer cancellations. Founded in 2022, the company grew revenue approximately eightfold from 2024 to 2025, has about 40 employees (≈70% in product and tech) and expects to reach breakeven within a year. Its near-term plans include intensifying AI and agent capabilities and expanding across Latin America starting with Colombia and Mexico.

  • TESS AI

    Led · Seed · Mar 2026

    Tess AI offers an enterprise agent-orchestration platform whose multi-model engine stitches together over 250 AI models—including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Qwen—so employees can build autonomous agents for tasks like bank reconciliation, inventory checks, prospecting, data analysis, and internal reporting. Instead of traditional per-seat SaaS licenses, the company charges for completed work, positioning itself as a “seatless” solution that removes budget friction and encourages bottom-up adoption. In the past 12 months, more than 16,000 employees have onboarded to the platform, and the system executed more than 600,000 autonomous agent tasks in the last month alone, with individual agents handling up to 40 simultaneous operations per call. Founded by Brazilian entrepreneurs and led by CEO Rica Barros, Tess AI argues it delivers more than 3× ROI in the first year of deployment. The firm competes with offerings from Microsoft, IBM, UiPath, Automation Anywhere, CrewAI, and Relevance AI, but differentiates through its broad model coverage and usage-based economics. The recent seed financing pegs the company’s valuation at roughly R$200 million (about US$35 million), giving it fresh capital to scale its orchestration engine and expand go-to-market efforts. Management plans to deploy the new funds to deepen model integrations and accelerate enterprise adoption of its “Vibe Working” performance framework.

  • Cenit

    Led · Seed · Nov 2025

    Cenit offers an iOS (soon Android) application that links directly with tax authorities, automatically downloads invoices and cash movements, and presents real-time views of income, expenses, and taxes owed. Users can file and pay taxes with one click and query an AI assistant for metrics such as daily sales, week-over-week comparisons, or upcoming filing deadlines. The platform runs on a subscription model priced at US$10–15 per month after a two-month free trial. Although only a few weeks old, the service already has more than 200 users, with roughly 25 % using it daily and 50 % at least weekly. Cenit was founded by Andrés Liberman (PhD Finance, Columbia; ex-NYU professor) and Ronny González (former Consorcio operations executive and Betterfly CPO). Near-term plans include rolling out an Android version and deepening penetration in Mexico and Chile. By 2026 the team aims to handle users’ annual income-tax filings and firmly establish the brand in both markets. Revenue figures are not yet disclosed, but the newly raised capital will fund product acceleration and geographic expansion.

  • Mendel

    Participated · Series B · Mar 2025

    Founded in early 2021, Mendel provides an integrated SaaS platform that combines expense management, corporate cards, bill pay, and travel booking to give CFOs real-time visibility and control over B2B spend. The product is positioned as a ‘SAP Concur meets AMEX’ solution tailored to the complex tax, invoicing, and multi-currency requirements of Latin American enterprises. Over half of revenue comes from recurring SaaS fees, with the balance generated from interchange and bill-pay take rates, supporting gross margins above 75%. Annual recurring revenue grew nearly 2.5× year-over-year, and management expects to reach profitability by late 2025 after being cash-flow positive in December 2024. The company serves about 500 customers—including Mercado Libre, FEMSA, Adecco, and McDonald’s—and has grown to 80 employees. Future plans include geographic expansion from current operations in Mexico and Argentina into Chile, Colombia, and Peru in 2025 and Brazil in 2026. To date, Mendel has secured $60 million in equity funding and a $50 million credit facility.

  • perhaps

    Led · Seed · Jul 2024

    Perhaps builds a digital workspace that enables seamless collaboration between humans and AI using large language models. The workspace includes a functional browser that lets users log into web tools—email, documents, and other apps—so the AI can access and utilize that information. It integrates applications to facilitate tasks such as drafting emails from Gmail threads, creating manuals in Google Docs from GitHub repositories, and pulling context from Notion. The company has developed a proprietary protocol that allows servers to generate updates directly on the desktop canvas, enabling the AI to act as an equal participant with human users. Perhaps aims to eliminate workflow friction and boost knowledge worker productivity, with the article noting potential efficiency gains of up to tenfold. The startup was founded by Gonzalo Enei, Joaquín Ossandón, and Ignacio Soffia, who previously worked together at Fintual, and has raised US$1.75 million in a pre-seed round led by Hi Ventures with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners.
