Nelo is a premier consumer fintech and e-commerce platform in Mexico, boasting over $500 million in annualized GMV and more than $70 million in annualized revenue. Our vision is to enhance the purchasing power of consumers across Latin America by providing a modern alternative to traditional credit cards.
Nelo has successfully secured over $40 million in venture capital from esteemed investors such as Homebrew, Two Sigma Ventures, and Susa Ventures. Additionally, we have obtained a $100 million asset credit facility from Victory Park Capital.
