The App That Turned Payday Loans Into a Neighborly Favor
SoLo Funds built a lending marketplace with no interest and no mandatory fees, betting that strangers would rather help strangers than let a payday lender do it. Two million users later, the model is either a fix for broken small-dollar credit or a regulatory magnet - and the founders keep insisting it is the first.
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.
