Pideaky
Pideaky is a Monterrey-based fintech that helps offline Latin American small businesses - mostly Mexico's corner shops (tienditas) and their suppliers - manage and accelerate cash flow. It uses AI and computer vision to turn photos and videos of a shop's inventory into a credit score, then extends inventory-based financing alongside automated collection, payment and reconciliation tools. The company was part of Y Combinator's Summer 2021 batch.
Fluid
Fluid is a Singapore-based B2B payments platform that lets suppliers and marketplaces offer their business buyers flexible credit terms and installments at the point of purchase. Its AI underwriting engine approves buyers in seconds, pays suppliers on day one, and automates reconciliation - bringing consumer-grade buy-now-pay-later mechanics to business commerce across Southeast Asia. Founded in early 2023 by former Atome and Uber operators, Fluid has raised US$7M and serves 3,000+ businesses across Singapore and Malaysia.
