INFOGRAPHIC: Startup Funding in LATAM—Week 50, 2025

Latin American startups continued attracting fresh capital this week, with new funding flowing into eVTOL aviation, financial automation, real estate AI, hospital intelligence systems, and cross-border commerce infrastructure. The latest rounds highlight investor confidence in companies building essential platforms for mobility, finance, healthcare, and digital trade, sectors that are increasingly shaping the region’s next decade of innovation.

Brazil’s Eve Air Mobility led the week, securing $36.7 million from BNDES to accelerate certification of its electric aircraft and expand development of its first eVTOL model. The financing combines Climate Fund resources and foreign-currency credit lines, supporting propulsion integration, ground testing, and type-certification work with Brazil’s aviation authority. Eve, created by Embraer and now publicly listed in the U.S. and through BDRs in Brazil, holds an order book of 2,800 aircraft and expects its first prototype flight by the end of the year. With this latest investment, Eve’s total support from BNDES since 2022 now surpasses R$1.2 billion, reinforcing Brazil’s push to position itself at the forefront of global urban air mobility.

Also in Brazil, AI-powered finance platform Kamino raised $10 million in a round co-led by Flourish Ventures and Quona Capital. Originally built for startups, the fintech is now targeting the underserved mid-market segment, where teams still juggle spreadsheets, manual reconciliations, and fragmented banking processes. With more than 2,000 customers and over $2.7 billion processed, Kamino plans to expand automated analytics, introduce AI-driven cash-flow projections, and deepen bank integrations to support CFOs with cleaner, real-time financial visibility. With an estimated one million mid-sized companies in Brazil fitting its profile, the company aims to become the “operating system for CFOs” and reach R$60 million in ARR by 2026.

In the real estate sector, Brazilian startup Morada.ai raised $3.1 million in a round led by Parceiro Ventures to scale its generative-AI platform for property developers. Serving nearly 200 builders across 17 states, Morada.ai is expanding into housing-finance automation, an area that processed more than R$240 billion in 2024 but remains heavily bottlenecked by document-intensive, manual bank workflows. The startup plans to deepen its technical infrastructure, integrate structured data, credit analysis, and AI into one workflow, and help reduce the 70% rejection rate seen in some mortgage processes. With two million customers already touched by its AI and over 50 million messages sent, the company is pushing to make predictive, integrated real estate operations the Brazilian standard.

In Argentina, healthtech Avedian secured $2.2 million in a round led by Meet Capital, marking a new phase in its mission to optimise hospital performance across Latin America. Founded by three brothers and already present in five countries, Avedian builds AI platforms that predict clinical complications, improve bed availability by up to 30%, increase revenue by 40%, and cut average hospital stay times by 25%. The company recently signed a global distribution deal giving it access to over 90 hospital systems in China, India, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and more. The new capital will fuel engineering expansion, data-science enhancements, and broader international operations as Avedian positions itself as a global benchmark for AI-powered clinical efficiency.

Rounding out the week, U.S.-based fintech Finturu, focused on enabling Latin American merchants to sell globally, raised $1.3 million from angel investors as it builds out one of the region’s first crypto-acquiring architectures. Recognised by Forbes Colombia as a startup to watch in 2025, Finturu is developing infrastructure that merges stablecoin payments, multi-currency accounts, logistics orchestration, and AI-driven automation into a unified layer for cross-border digital commerce. The company is preparing to roll out its multi-currency e-commerce account, directly linked to sales channels and logistics tools, while also deploying an AI system that automates store approvals, analyses merchant operations, anticipates risk, and improves conversion across markets. With expansion planned into Mexico, Brazil, and Central America, Finturu aims to become a core infrastructure provider for merchants selling internationally.

Taken together, the week showcased growing confidence in the technologies that will define the region’s next stage of digital modernisation, from electric aviation and real estate automation to financial management and cross-border commerce. With investors backing platforms that solve structural inefficiencies and enable market-wide transformation, Latin America’s tech ecosystem moves into its next cycle with deeper momentum and increasingly global ambitions.
