Gaston Zelerteins and the Art of Making Auto Parts Speak Internet
He found a continental software problem hiding inside spreadsheets, PDFs and millions of nearly identical parts. His answer was to make the automotive aftermarket legible - one catalog, reseller and country at a time.
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.
nocnoc
nocnoc is a Montevideo-based cross-border eCommerce platform that lets global brands and retailers sell across Latin America's largest online marketplaces - Mercado Libre, Amazon, Walmart, Magalu, Coppel, Falabella and more - through a single integration, often going live in under 48 hours. Sellers ship to a US or China warehouse and nocnoc handles listings, marketing, customs, taxes, payments, customer service and returns, so brands reach roughly 650 million Latin American consumers without setting up local entities in each country.
Ilan Bajarlia
Ilan Bajarlia is the CEO and co-founder of nocnoc, a Montevideo-based cross-border e-commerce facilitator that connects more than 2,500 global brands and sellers from the U.S. and China with shoppers across Latin America's fragmented marketplaces. A former dLocal and AstroPay business developer, he built nocnoc from a $300,000 friends-and-family seed into a company that has raised roughly $22 million, led by PayPal Ventures, and operates the largest cross-border stores in the region across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Argentina.
