  • Bluprynt

    Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

    Bluprynt has built a compliance OS that unifies traditional financial-services regulations with blockchain-native transparency, enabling issuers, banks, stablecoin operators, and other institutions to meet supervisory standards without slowing transaction speed. The platform supplies core primitives for document and disclosure creation, verifiable issuer and asset identity, and policy infrastructure that governs token transactions at scale. Since launch, Bluprynt completed the EU’s first MiCA pilot in 2024 and debuted its Know Your Issuer (KYI) solution in 2025 through pilots with Paxos and Circle covering USDC and PYUSD. The company is now developing a multi-participant compliance stack with Chainlink, Apex, and Hacken under the Bermuda Monetary Authority and expects to be integrated into or piloting with additional regulators worldwide by year-end. Bluprynt counts major traditional-finance and crypto players among its design partners, reflecting growing institutional demand for on-chain compliance tools. Proceeds from its latest financing will accelerate product and engineering hiring, expand integrations across off-chain and on-chain ecosystems, and support global regulatory deployments. Financial metrics such as revenue or user counts were not disclosed, but the oversubscription of the recent seed round signals strong market interest in its solution.

  • BRLA Digital

    Participated · Series A · Feb 2026

    Founded in 2022 by Matheus Moura and Leandro Noel, Avenia (legally BRLA Digital LTD) offers a turnkey, regulated infrastructure layer for businesses that want to add cross-border payments and stablecoin functionality. Its white-label platform supports multi-currency accounts in BRL, USD, and EUR, delivers instant settlement via stablecoins, and supplies centralized reporting tools that integrate directly with Brazil’s Central Bank and Federal Revenue Service. By handling the regulatory burden and technical complexity, Avenia enables clients to launch international payment and crypto-related products faster and more cheaply. The company touts a fully compliant architecture and provides APIs, account management, and reconciliation dashboards as part of its SaaS suite. Fresh capital will be used to deepen product capabilities and scale operations across Latin America and into the United States. Although no revenue or user metrics were disclosed, management positions the firm as a critical financial infrastructure provider for regional fintechs and enterprises.

  • Higala

    Participated · Seed · Nov 2025

    Higala develops SynerFi, an open payments platform that connects smaller financial institutions to InstaPay and the broader digital payments ecosystem. By removing technical and cost barriers, the company enables rural banks and microfinance institutions to launch digital products, accept real-time payments, and reach previously underserved customers. SynerFi has already onboarded nine rural banks, including Rural Bank of San Antonio, Rural Bank of Lipa City, Progressive Rural Bank, Banco Abucay, and Lagawe Highlands Rural Bank. Higala’s leadership positions the platform as a key pillar for financial inclusion initiatives in the Philippines, working closely with partners such as Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC). Proceeds from its latest financing will be used to expand SynerFi’s feature set and accelerate rollout to additional regional lenders. The company’s strategy centers on scaling integrations with payment networks while deepening partnerships that drive adoption among community-level banks.

  • Pave Bank

    Participated · Series A · Oct 2025

Its platform enables businesses to automate payments, transfers, and treasury functions while seamlessly handling fiat and digital-asset transactions.

Management intends to expand operations into the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and the European Economic Area to reach a wider enterprise customer base. Since launch, Pave Bank has secured roughly $45 million in total funding, underscoring investor confidence in its vision of programmable finance. The fresh capital will be deployed to deepen product development, obtain additional regulatory approvals, and scale geographic coverage.
