Having reliable transportation is at the top of any gig worker’s list, but in Latin America, that’s not always easy to secure.
Chile-based Migrante is working to change that. Initially starting in Venezuela, now with $30 million in Series A funding and $80 million in a debt facility, it is moving into both Colombia and Mexico.
In 2018, Ignacio Canals, Diego Fleischmann and Benjamin Izikson got the idea for the e-commerce and lending company to provide durable goods, like cars, motorbikes and mobile phones, for gig workers in the Andes region.
They saw the lack of financial access by Venezuelans leaving their country for others with no financial aid. Initially, Canals and Fleischmann started Migrante MVP to address this issue and give them support as they joined the workforce.
