Microwd Inversiones
Microwd is a Madrid-based social fintech that lets ordinary people invest from as little as 50 euros into microloans for women entrepreneurs across Latin America. It pairs field agents on the ground in Nicaragua, Mexico, Peru and Costa Rica with an online platform where investors fund roughly $1,000, one-year loans at interest rates it says run well below the local microfinance market. The pitch is unusual for the space: not charity, but a for-profit business that claims both financial returns for investors and measurable social impact for borrowers.
