Weekly Funding Overview for Leading Startups in LATAM - Week 32, 2025 (Infographic)
Brazilian startups have been attracting significant investment in various sectors, with fintech leading the way. In a recent funding round, FanBase, a sports digital infrastructure startup, raised $923,000, led by Domo.VC and OutField. Another fintech, Stone, secured $50 million from IDB Invest to expand credit access for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in the Legal Amazon.
In the legal tech sector, Leggal, a legal services startup, closed a $314,000 pre-seed round from DOMO.VC, Anjos do Brasil, and angel investors. The startup uses AI and a network of lawyers to make legal assistance more accessible.
IORQ, a smart credit platform, raised $6.5 million from Monashees, Upload Ventures, ONEVC, and Norte. IORQ's AI-powered infrastructure helps companies originate and manage credit via APIs, with plans to expand its tech stack and scale operations with the funds raised.
In the climate tech sector, Radix Florestal received $1.85 million from Ecosia. The startup combines biodiversity recovery with sustainable agroforestry, having already restored 150 hectares in the Amazon and aiming to plant 2,000 more by 2030. Radix Florestal uses drone and satellite technology for monitoring its reforestation efforts and directs part of its funding to local communities.
The top trends in Brazilian startups based on recent funding emphasize strong investor interest in fintech, especially in financial infrastructure and AI-driven credit access solutions. Fintech startups like QI Tech, Juvo, Clara, Liquid, and BlindPay have raised substantial amounts, focusing on areas such as payments, lending, investments, insurance, and cross-border payments innovation.
Investments in climate, sports, and legal tech are less prominently reported in recent major deals, indicating these sectors may be emerging or niche within the Brazilian startup ecosystem at present. However, Brazilian startups collectively raised over $18.7 million this week across these sectors.
As the Brazilian startup landscape continues to evolve, it's clear that fintech innovations—particularly in AI-based credit scoring, digital financial infrastructure, and novel payment technologies—are dominating the investment scene. Meanwhile, climate, sports, and legal tech startups are working to establish themselves and break into headline funding rounds.
