Gradient

Thrilled to announce R2's $9M equity round and a debt facility of up to $50M to accelerate our growth across Latin America! We’re proud to partner with Hi Ventures and COMETA, alongside the continued support of our incredible existing investors, Gradient and Y Combinator. We also welcome Endeavor Catalyst as a new partner in this journey. This latest debt facility will fuel the expansion of our portfolio in Chile, building on the success of the facility we raised last year with Community Investment Management in Mexico. At R2, we believe that financial services for SMBs should be embedded at the point of need—seamlessly integrated into the platforms they rely on every day. Our mission is to enable millions of businesses to access financial services effortlessly through our infrastructure. This equity and debt raise marks a significant step as we continue building a world-class product and expanding our impact. A heartfelt thank you to our team, customers, partners, and investors for believing in our vision and contributing to our success. Together, we’re reshaping the future of financial access in Latin America.
