Prometeo
Prometeo is a Latin American fintech-infrastructure company that turns the region's fragmented banking landscape into a single API. Through one integration, businesses can validate bank accounts, aggregate financial data, and move money across banks and borders. Founded in Montevideo, Uruguay in 2018, Prometeo has connected thousands of banking channels across more than a dozen countries in the Americas and raised a $13M Series A in 2024 led by Antler Elevate with PayPal Ventures and Samsung Next.
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.
