A Y Combinator S22 company backed by the Stellar Development Foundation, Settle became the on/off ramp behind global exchanges including Binance and OKX across the region.

Founded in 2017 by former Santander executive Julian Colombo, N5 works fully remotely across teams in dozens of cities, serves clients including Santander, Mastercard, Itau, Interbank and Zurich in roughly 15-18 countries, and closed a $20M Series A in 2025 to accelerate its AI agents for banks.

Nahuel Candia is the co-founder and CEO of Rebill, a payments-infrastructure company that lets global businesses process payments, payouts and financial operations across Latin America and the US without setting up local entities. A developer since age 14 who built three companies before 30, he took Rebill through Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch and raised roughly $3.6-3.7M from Tiger Global, SV Angel, SOMA Capital, Magma Partners and founders like Vercel's Guillermo Rauch and Dropbox's Arash Ferdowsi. He says Rebill was rejected by YC dozens of times before getting in, and that persistence is now part of the company's origin story.
