- Kapso
Participated · Equity · Aug 2026
Kapso builds tooling and infrastructure for developers working with messaging channels, with a particular focus implied on WhatsApp. The company reports rapid usage growth—processing more messages in a single recent hour than it did in the entire month of August 2025—and serves more than 28,000 developers. Andrés Matte is the founder and led the recent $1.4M raise; he also noted he closed the round without a deck. The team has expanded beyond a sole founder to include additional employees following the financing. Public disclosures do not include revenue, valuation, or detailed product roadmaps, though the founder indicated plans and shared more background in a linked write-up.
- Leracom AI
Participated · Seed · Jan 2026
Leracom AI, founded by Guillermo Treviño Pavón (co-founder of Yaydoo), delivers a conversational-analysis and interaction-automation platform tailored for contact centers. The system applies artificial intelligence to generate complete analytics on customer calls and chats while automating routine responses to improve efficiency. Currently operating in Mexico and Colombia, the company plans to expand into Chile as its next step toward broader Latin-American coverage. Management intends to use its newly raised capital to accelerate this regional rollout and scale product adoption. Although detailed operating metrics such as revenue or user count were not disclosed, the company positions itself as an infrastructure layer for customer-service teams across the region. Its technology aims to lower operational costs for contact centers while boosting customer satisfaction through real-time insights and automation.
- Grupalia
Participated · Seed · Dec 2025
Grupalia is positioning itself as a neobank for microbusinesses in Mexico and has launched a digital group loan as its first proprietary product. That product has already reached more than 40,000 local businesses. The company was founded by Roger Rea (CEO), formerly CEO & co-founder of Mexican fintech Atrato, and Ramón Echeverría (CTO), formerly a software engineer at Platanus Ventures. Grupalia publicly came out of stealth six months ago after operating previously under the radar. The team comprises more than 20 people, and the company is aiming for $10M in annualized revenue. Its recent fundraising (a $7.7M Seed following a $4.8M Pre-Seed) is intended to accelerate its path toward becoming a neobank for micronegocios.
