About Grupago

Grupago uses AI to scale small business credit and payments worldwide.

Around the developing world, the vast majority of the economy is driven by small, often informal micro-businesses.

These businesses have been ignored both by banks and fintechs, given the challenges to underwrite and serve.

We use AI to bring both business credit and payments to micro-businesses across the globe starting with Latin America.

We launched a credit card in Mexico last year, have thousands of customers, recently launched a small business loan product, and are expanding into payments this year.

Our vision is to use AI to automate every part of our business from acquisition, to underwriting, to credit line upgrades, to collections in order to serve millions of micro-businesses around the world in a scalable and profitable way.

Our team is run by a very small (currently 8 person) team of extremely talented, mission-driven, data focused engineers and business leaders including a CEO/co-founder who is a successful former VC and multi-exit fintech founder, and team members with decades of combined experience at leading fintechs across the US and Mexico.

We are backed by top venture investors across the US and Mexico, and have raised over $6M in venture capital.
