Prósperos Raises $3M To Revolutionize Financial Services For Latine Communities

Latino Communities

Prósperos has successfully raised $3 million in seed funding to advance its mission of empowering Latine communities through innovative financial solutions. 

This funding round saw investments from FEBE Ventures, BAT VC, Tekton Ventures, and Courtyard Ventures, among others.

Revolutionizing Financial Services For Latine Communities

Founded in 2023 by Vinay Pai and Salvador Chavez, Prósperos aims to transform the financial landscape for Latine communities in the USA and Latin America. 

The Prósperos platform provides two bank accounts and cards: one for the account holder in the USA and another for their family in Mexico, with plans to expand to Central and South America.

Traditional money-transfer methods, which generated over $4 billion in fees and often took days to process, have long been a burden for Latine families. 

Prósperos promises to eliminate these issues, enabling instant fund transfers without the hefty fees or long waits.

Prósperos’ Leadership Team

Prósperos’ leadership team brings a wealth of experience and expertise.  

Pai (CEO), Chavez (COO), Sangam Singh (Chief Technology Officer), Eitan Anzenberg (Chief Data Scientist), and Netsai Massetti (Chief Compliance Officer) previously worked together at a fintech company that went public in 2019. 

Their collective knowledge and dedication are critical to the company’s success.

“This funding will enable Prósperos to deliver a transformative financial platform that is better, faster, and cheaper than current alternatives, ” said Pai in a press release.

“We are already seeing strong demand for our financial platform, which will begin rolling out in the coming weeks.”

“Prósperos is deeply personal for me,” added Salvador Chavez, COO. “My father worked on farms and eventually moved to construction. He never had access to the modern banking system and instead paid exorbitant fees for cashing checks and sending money to his family. Prósperos changes all of that.”
