Lightrock invests in Konfio

Lightrock led a USD125m Series E for Konfio, a Mexican lending platform for SMEs. Konfio secured a USD60m credit line from Goldman Sachs earlier this year; SoftBank, KASZEK, QED Investors and Vostok Emerging Finance invested USD100m in 2019. Previous investors include Jaguar Ventures, Quona Capital and the IFC.

(Expansión) – La fintech Konfío cerró una ronda de inversión por 125 millones de dólares (mdd).

La empresa anunció este martes que el levantamiento de capital serie ‘E’ fue liderado por Lightrock, una plataforma de capital, y que estuvo acompañado por los accionistas existentes Softbank, VEF, Kaszek Ventures, QED Investors y Corporación Financiera Internacional (IFC).
Konfío destacó que con este nuevo levantamiento de capital fortalecerá la estrategia de servicios como el otorgamiento del crédito ágil, y que dará herramientas de gestión empresarial y soluciones de pagos.

La fintech también planea la compra de otras empresas tecnológicas que amplíen el valor del ecosistema de productos que entrega a sus clientes. Y es que mientras la banca reportó contracción del crédito durante el 2020, Konfío aseguró que su cartera creció en un 20%.

“Confiamos en que cada vez más empresarios e inversionistas verán a Konfío como una compañía sólida y bien capitalizada que ofrece oportunidades tangibles de crecimiento, así como innumerables posibilidades de desarrollo en todo el país”, dijo Marcos Wilson Pereira, managing partner de Lightrock y jefe de operaciones en América Latina.
