Vostok Emerging Finance Leads a US$13m Investment in Xerpa (em português)

Vostok Emerging Finance led a US$13m investment in Xerpa, a Brazilian human resource management platform, with follow-on from KaszeK Ventures, Redpoint eventures and QED Investors. Xerpa raised R$16m earlier in 2019 from KaszeK, Redpoint eventures, and QED.

(Globo) A fintech brasileira Xerpa, que mescla serviços financeiros com os de recursos humanos, anunciou nesta terça-feira que recebeu um aporte de US$ 13 milhões, numa rodada liderada pelo fundo sueco Vostok Emerging Finance.

Criada em 2015, a startup oferece a empresas um mecanismo que permite antecipar instantaneamente aos seus funcionários os valores do salário equivalente ao tempo trabalhado do mês.

O modelo da Xerpa é inspirado em plataformas com propostas similares, como a britânica Wagestreamdo e a mexicana Minu.

Segundo os fundadores da Xerpa, a chance de antecipação é uma alternativa útil para evitar que os empregados tenham que usar o cheque especial e outros produtos de crédito com juros altos e que muitas vezes são as únicas soluções de liquidez disponíveis.

“É perfeito para o Brasil, onde dezenas de milhões de pessoas recorrem a produtos de crédito predatórios”, afirmou Alexis Koumoudos, sócio da Vostok, em nota.

A startup tem entre os acionistas os fundadores do Nubank David Velez e Ed Wible. A Xerpa afirma ter entre os clientes Mercado Livre, Nubank, iFood, CCR, Creditas e QuintoAndar.
