A New Era of Private Credit Management in Mexico
Syscap, a pioneering fintech company based in Mexico, has closed an impressive $2.3 million seed funding round to further develop its innovative platform for managing and accessing private credit. This significant investment will enable Syscap to accelerate its mission of democratizing access to private credit and filling the liquidity gap in the market.
A Brief History of Syscap
Syscap’s co-founders, David Noel Ramírez and Alejandro O’Farrill, met while working at Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA), a multinational beverage and retail company. After exploring various entrepreneurial ventures, they decided to join forces and create Syscap. Their shared vision was to develop a user-friendly platform that would simplify the management of private credit for non-banking lenders in Mexico.
The Problem with Traditional Private Credit Management
Traditionally, managing private lines of credit is a cumbersome process that involves using banking software and core systems or relying on manual methods such as spreadsheets, email threads, and unreliable data sources. This outdated approach can lead to inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and a lack of transparency.
The Rise of Private Credit in Mexico
The private credit market in Mexico has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade, with assets under management nearly tripling between 2011 and 2022. As the market continues to expand, it is expected to reach an impressive $23.3 trillion by 2027. This presents a unique opportunity for Syscap to fill the credit liquidity gap and provide a more streamlined solution for non-banking lenders.
