REDLINE LAB Is Building the Missing Middle of Latin American Web3
From a Panama base, Soren Azorian's venture studio is assembling capital, code and cross-border infrastructure into one Web3 portfolio. The wager is that the region needs an operating system for founders, not another pitch competition.

N5 Now
N5 Now is a Buenos Aires-founded software company built specifically for the financial industry. Its 'systematics' platform - along with AI products AIfred, Pep and Singular - lets banks, insurers and payment companies connect CRM, campaigns, analytics, compliance and omnichannel operations on top of existing legacy systems instead of replacing them. 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.

Today N5 works across 18 countries with clients including Santander, Mastercard and Itaú, and in February 2025 raised a USD 20 million Series A to accelerate its banking AI products. An economist and journalist by training, and a former member of Argentina's parliament, Colombo is a frequent voice on how AI will reshape finance over the next decade.
Prometeo
Prometeo is a Latin American fintech-infrastructure company that turns the region's fragmented banking landscape into a single API.

Nicolás Jaramillo
Nicolás Jaramillo is a Chilean engineer turned serial fintech founder who wants to be the BlackRock of web3. After helping build MACH, Chile's first widely adopted digital bank, and scaling the cross-border payments company Global66 across Latin America, he co-founded Arch in 2020 to make crypto investing as boring and accessible as an index fund. Arch packages the chaos of DeFi into tokenized, risk-rated portfolios, raised $5M in seed funding from Digital Currency Group and Upload Ventures, and aims to bring traditional-market discipline to the decentralized economy.
