Willkie advised Greycroft in the transaction.
Addi, a fintech and digital commerce startup based in Bogota and Sao Paulo, announced new equity funding for $75 million, led by Greycroft with participation from new investors GGV Capital, Citius Capital, and Intersection Growth Partners, as well as existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Citius VC, Endeavor Catalyst, Foundation Capital, Monashees, and Quona Capital. This extension to Addi’s previously announced $65 million Series B round brings the company’s 90-day funding total to $140 million. Union Square’s Opportunity Fund also participated in the round, after having led the previous round. Addi plans to use the funds to continue to scale its current operations in Brazil and Colombia, and expand into Mexico in early 2022.

Addi has established itself as a key partner for online retailers, and BNPL as a top payment method, with hundreds of merchants. Thousands of customers across Brazil and Colombia are making purchases with BNPL, powered by Addi.
