We’re thrilled to share that EFEX has closed an $8 million seed round, after processing more than $1 billion in volume in 2025. The round was led by PayPal Ventures and Floodgate. At Nido, we first partnered with Dimitri Zaninovich and Santiago Bustamante Villa in 2022, backing their vision early on. Since then, they’ve executed with focus and ambition — and we’re proud to double down and continue supporting them in this next phase of growth. EFEX is building the fintech company transforming the way small and medium-sized enterprises manage cross-border payments and treasury in the growing US–Mexico corridor. With this new capital, EFEX will accelerate the development of a world-class, AI-enabled global treasury platform — delivering smarter automation, deeper visibility, and exceptional service to the businesses that rely on them. Excited for what’s ahead. 🚀

We're thrilled to welcome Roberto Mazariegos as an Investments Co-Op to the Nido team. Roberto first joined us last summer as an Investments Fellow, then stayed on as a research fellow with ConteNido, where he contributed some of our most-read pieces. We're excited to have him return to the investments side in an expanded role.

Latin America is entering 2026 with more global attention than it has had in decades— but attention alone isn’t insight. Our first Sunday Nest of 2026 is out. Every week, we use it to step back from the noise and connect short-term signals with longer-term structure. This edition looks ahead at what’s already moving beneath the surface in Latin America and why these shifts matter more than the headlines suggest. Read it on Substack—and subscribe to get it every Sunday. Follow Nido there for the full archive and future deep dives. https://lnkd.in/eUkHKYVK

Today marks an important day for Nido and our content arm: ConteNido. For the past few years, José Luis Sabau has helped define the editorial voice of ConteNido. His sharp takes on Mexico, venture capital, and Latam added depth, context, and intention to our pieces. His work has been invaluable in shaping our newsletter voice and we are so grateful for his contributions. Thank you for your guidance and thought-provoking prose, José Luis! As we turn the page, we’re excited to welcome Renata Alvarez León as our new editor. Renata brings a fresh lens and a narrative direction that will help ConteNido continue evolving—thoughtful, relevant, and grounded in the conversations shaping our ecosystem. To new voices, new questions, and the new chapter of ConteNido! Stay tuned for more.

Today’s the day!! I’ve been building something for the past 5 months — and I’m finally ready to share it. I’ve interviewed thousands of candidates and spoken to hundreds of hiring managers, and one thing became clear: Finding top talent is really hard. That’s why we built Time To Hire — an AI recruiter that interviews 5,000+ people a month and sends you only the top 5% for your open role. As a candidate, you interview once and get matched to hundreds of jobs: 🚫 No repeating the same interview over and over 🚫 No endless processes where you're not even a good fit 🚫 No getting ghosted As a company: ✅ Top talent delivered in minutes, not days ✅ Pre-qualified, AI-interviewed candidates ✅ Fast, data-driven hiring workflows We’ve already helped companies like Clara, Tiendanube, Auronix, Blip en Español, Allie - AI for Manufacturing, Reina Madre Clínicas de la Mujer, Clivi, Cubbo, Vambe, Welbe Care, and Wynwood House hire great talent in record time. If you’re a founder, recruiter, or lead a hiring team — this is for you. 🎁 Hiring for Sales, Marketing, or Customer Success? We’ll help you fill your role at AI speed. Comment “Candidates” and get 20% off your first hire. 🔥 Want to use AI interviews in your company? I’ll give you free access for a limited time. Comment “EARLY” and I’ll DM you the link.
