INFOGRAPHIC: LATAM's Top Weekly Startup Funding—Week 38, 2025

Latin American startups raised more than $274 million this week across enterprise software, capital markets, healthcare AI, corporate wellness, and edtech. From modernising ERP platforms to challenging decades-old stock exchange monopolies, founders are betting on efficiency, infrastructure, and digital transformation to define the region’s next growth phase.

Brazilian ERP software provider Omie led the week with a $160 million round backed by Partners Group. While most of the deal was secondary—allowing early investors to partially exit—an undisclosed portion went directly to the company as primary capital. Founded in 2013, Omie offers cloud-based ERP and financial services for small and medium-sized businesses, connecting them with accounting firms through consultant-led adoption. The company reports $112 million in annual recurring revenue, has been cash-flow positive since mid-2023, and serves 180,000 customers while processing over $6.5 billion in monthly invoices, growing 30–40% annually.

In financial infrastructure, A5X announced a $37.7 million Series C, led by its existing investors. The startup, founded in 2023, is working toward launching operations in 2026 as a new Brazilian stock exchange and clearinghouse with a central counterparty, directly competing with B3. Its goal is to deliver modern infrastructure that blends London Stock Exchange Group technology with proprietary systems to boost liquidity and efficiency. Backed by global heavyweights including ABN AMRO Clearing, IMC, Jump Trading, Optiver, and XTX Markets, A5X has assembled a team of seasoned financial executives, including former XP and B3 leaders. If it sticks to its timeline, the company could become the first significant challenger to B3 in decades.

In healthcare, Arvo raised $20 million in Series A funding led by Kaszek and Base10 Partners, with Canary and K50 Ventures also participating. Founded in 2022, the company applies AI and machine learning to validate claims and authorisations, targeting inefficiencies that drain more than R$40 billion annually from Brazil’s healthcare system. Arvo has already processed over R$130 billion in claims, helping clients improve billing productivity by 25% within six months. After quadrupling its revenue and customer base over the past year, the company plans to triple its investment in AI, expand its team, and explore acquisitions to strengthen its role in healthcare payments.

Nutrition-focused Nutrium followed with a $12 million Series A led by Vesalius Biocapital, alongside Lince Capital, Indico Capital Partners, and Beta Capital. Its product, Nutrium Care, offers personalised nutrition as a corporate benefit using a results-based pricing model, in which up to 100% of fees depend on measurable health outcomes. With obesity rates rising and GLP-1 medications gaining traction, Brazil has become Nutrium’s largest market, accounting for more than half of global revenue. The company plans to use the new capital to consolidate its HR-focused business in Brazil, expand partnerships with healthcare providers, and strengthen its position in corporate wellness.

Rounding out the week, Brazilian edtech Layers secured $4 million in a pre-Series A led by Canadian fund Constellation CSI. Known as the developer of an Education SuperApp, Layers connects schools, families, and edtech providers, and is already present in more than 9,000 institutions, serving 3.5 million students. Despite the funding slowdown, the company reached breakeven in 2023 and posted EBITDA above 30% in 2024. The fresh funding will help it double revenue to R$40 million, expand further across Latin America, and pursue acquisitions. Earlier this year, Layers partnered with Clever, the world’s largest education platform, linking Brazilian schools to over 4,000 global edtechs—a move that cements its role as a neutral hub in the region’s education ecosystem.
