The Seattle Startup Turning Amazon's Own Bonus Into a Creator Paycheck
Levanta connects Amazon sellers with vetted creators, tracks every sale through Amazon's own API, and lets brands pay commissions instead of bidding on ads. In roughly 20 months it went from a services idea to $286 million in annualized tracked sales - and a $20 million Series A.

Creizer
Creizer is a Mexico City fintech providing revenue-based financing to online sellers across Latin America. Often described as the Clear.co (formerly Clearbanc) for LATAM, it underwrites credit using a seller's daily sales and store metrics rather than traditional collateral, then collects repayment as a percentage of ongoing sales with no fixed installments or interest rates. Founded in 2021 by Emiliano Musalem and part of Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch, Creizer offers credit lines from roughly 30,000 pesos up to several million, targeting the more than 80% of Latin American SMEs that lack access to conventional bank loans.

Founded in 2015 as Clearbanc by Michele Romanow and Andrew D'Souza, the company has deployed more than $3 billion to over 10,000 brands and, after a 2023 recapitalization, relaunched a rebuilt funding platform under CEO Andrew Curtis.
