Huge congratulations to Caetano Lacerda, Raphael Dyxklay, and the entire team at Barte for closing their Series A. Driven by impeccable execution, strategy, and an obsession for solving their customers' problems, the company has grown a staggering 70x since we co-led the seed round in March 2023. Helping companies manage their cash flow by streamlining payments, credit, and visibility is a value proposition that resonates with a vast swath of mid-to-large-sized companies in Brazil. The opportunity is enormous, and Barte is exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on it. Let's go!

We are thrilled to announce our recent investment in Vixtra, the leading importer finance platform in Brazil led by the extraordinary founding team of Leonardo Baltieri, Guilherme Rosenthal, and Caio Gelfi. With remarkable growth of over 8x in the past year, Vixtra has solidified its position as the go-to solution in a $240 billion importer market in Brazil. At the heart of Vixtra's offerings lies its innovative financing product, which allows importers to use the merchandise they are importing as collateral. This unique service fills a crucial gap in the market, giving importers a new source of financing previously unavailable in the market. Today, Vixtra stands out as the sole provider of such financing in Brazil leveraging the team's deep logistics and finance expertise. Beyond its financing solution, Vixtra offers a comprehensive suite of adjacent importer services including FX, international payments, hedging, and route visibility and workflow-related tools. These offerings not only streamline importers' financial and commercial operations but also provide invaluable visibility into their business operations. We are incredibly excited to be part of Vixtra's journey and look forward to supporting their continued growth and success in helping importers thrive in Brazil and beyond. #Vixtra #TradeFinance #Investment #Brazil #VC #Finance https://lnkd.in/dRniGYSe
