At Nelo, we're building a modern alternative to credit cards that increases the buying power of consumers in Latin America. Our lean team prides itself on velocity, intellectual rigor, and efficiency - values that stem from our founders' experience scaling teams at Uber and Amazon. We've grown to over $500MM in annualized GMV with a small, high-impact team that believes in autonomy over bureaucracy. Every engineer here owns their problems end-to-end, whether that's building causal inference models that determine credit access or automating reconciliation systems that track every peso through our platform.
We believe the best solutions come from deep understanding of first principles, not just applying the latest framework. Our data scientists don't just optimize metrics - they build the core underwriting engine that balances growth with risk in an emerging market. Our customer experience agents aren't script-readers; they're detectives who solve complex, ambiguous cases that automation can't touch. We've raised over $40M from top investors including Two Sigma Ventures and Homebrew, but we operate with the focus of a much earlier-stage company. We're not just making payments easier - we're expanding access to credit for millions of Mexicans underserved by traditional banking.
