• Quipu

  Participated · Series A · Feb 2026

  Quipu is a fintech founded at MIT by Mercedes Bidart that focuses on lending to people whom conventional banks typically decline. The company has developed a proprietary credit-scoring model that has already evaluated more than 300,000 financially excluded users. Leveraging this data, Quipu has originated about US$8 million in loans through strategic partnerships. Its technology-driven approach aims to broaden financial inclusion in Latin America, starting with its home market of Colombia. The firm’s scoring solution allows it to underwrite risk more accurately for an often overlooked customer segment. With fresh capital, the company is expected to expand its lending capacity and refine its risk models. To date, Quipu has secured a cumulative US$4.6 million in equity funding, supporting both product development and market expansion.

• Monet

  Led · Series A · Jan 2026

  Monet operates a mobile app that grants nano-loans of up to COP 500,000 (≈US$130) without requiring a co-signer, specifically serving populations that lack traditional credit histories, such as Venezuelan migrants with Temporary Protection Permits. To date, the company reports more than 2.5 million loans disbursed and over one million app downloads. By leveraging proprietary technology and data analytics, Monet seeks to replace informal lending practices and lower credit risk for excluded segments. The newly secured capital will be used to deepen its product offering in Colombia and fuel geographic expansion, beginning with Mexico and potentially other Latin American markets. Management projects growing cumulative loan originations to 3.5 million by 2026. Monet positions itself as both a social and technological solution, aiming to formalize access to credit across the region.
