INFOGRAPHIC: LATAM's Top Weekly Startup Funding—Week 30, 2025

Latin American startups working on AI, financial inclusion, office flexibility, and sustainable consumer goods raised more than $41 million this week, with Brazil leading activity across both enterprise and consumer segments.

From computer vision and flexible workspaces to natural deodorants and biofertilizers, investors are backing scalable tech with regional impact potential.

Bewater led a $13.5 million round for Brazil's Woba, which also included Kaszek, Valor Capital, and other investors. The São Paulo-based startup runs a subscription-based flexible office network with over 2,000 partner spaces across 370+ cities. Clients include major players like Itaú, iFood, and Mercado Livre. Woba will use the new capital to accelerate commercial growth, grow its partner ecosystem, and adopt AI to enhance operations and expansion.

In Colombia, RapiCredit secured $5 million from Alma Sustainable Finance, alongside Almavest and the US International Development Finance Corporation. The fintech, which provides loans to underserved Colombians, will channel the funding into new financial products that promote gender equity and ESG impact. RapiCredit has operated for over 11 years and received $7 million in previous backing from Almavest. CEO Daniel Materón emphasized the importance of inclusive lending practices in a system that often excludes informal and low-credit-history workers.

Brazilian AI startup Fu2re raised $2.2 million to scale its computer vision and generative AI tools for sectors like energy, agriculture, and industry. The round was led by Copel Ventures (managed by Vox Capital) and Indicator Capital. Fu2re’s SmartVision AI platform digitizes field operations, automates meter reading, and detects fraud—all through a no-code interface. The startup aims to expand internationally while advancing sustainable development goals tied to industrial innovation and responsible consumption.

Puna Bio, an Argentine agtech working with extremophile bacteria, closed its Series A with the addition of the Gates Foundation, marking the foundation’s first investment in an Argentine startup. The round, first announced last month, also includes Corteva Catalyst, At One Ventures, and others. The funding will help scale Puna Bio’s microbial-based biofertilizers and biostimulants to new markets, especially in Africa, where they’ll be adapted to local conditions in partnership with the Gates Foundation. The company’s commercial products, already deployed on over 800,000 acres, are helping farmers grow crops on degraded soils and reduce fertilizer dependency.

On the consumer side, TAO DEO entered Brazil’s natural beauty market with an initial $900,000 partner-backed investment. Co-founded by former Forever 21 executive André Piedade and ad agency CEO Fábio Rosinholi, the brand offers vegan, crystal-based deodorants made with potassium alum. With 100% natural, hypoallergenic formulas and a focus on sustainability, TAO DEO plans to break even within 18 months and has launched across major marketplaces, including Amazon and Mercado Livre. Its first campaign starred singer and actress Cleo Pires.

From climate-resilient agriculture and social lending to flexible workspace access and sustainable beauty, this week’s funding rounds reflect the diversity—and durability—of Latin America’s tech sector. With a growing emphasis on inclusion, climate action, and scalable infrastructure, the region’s startups are attracting global interest and writing the next chapter of innovation.
