Participated · Debt Financing · Jun 2026
Plata was founded in Mexico in 2023 by former top managers of Tinkoff and is led by CEO Neri Tollardo. In February the company received a banking license and began operating as a full bank. Plata has grown rapidly: annual revenue reached $600M and its credit portfolio expanded roughly 170% to nearly 10 billion pesos in 2025.

Leadership additions include the hire of Marcos Cantt as chief financial officer. Plata is considering an IPO as it continues to scale in Mexico's large underbanked market.
- WHOOP
Participated · Series G · Mar 2026
Whoop builds wearable fitness and health trackers paired with a subscription service that captures user biometric and performance data. The company ships millions of hardware units globally while operating a recurring-revenue subscription model, which management says makes bookings the most useful operating metric. Whoop exited last year at a $1.1 billion bookings run rate, representing 103% year-over-year growth. It has now raised roughly $900 million in total capital since founding. The company is investing raised capital in hiring and talent, marketing and brand awareness, continued R&D, and accelerating international expansion. Whoop is also pursuing deeper health and medical capabilities, underscored by strategic participation from Abbott and Mayo Clinic in the latest round.
