Brazilian foodtech Mercado Diferente raised $1.6M in a pre-Series A round led by Collaborative Fund. Caravela Capital also participated.
Mercado Diferente will use the funds to grow its portfolio of products and enhance its infrastructure through investments in its distribution center and proprietary AI.

“Our objective in 2024 is to expand the variety of food to establish the company as the most complete online market in Brazil and to bring increasingly more healthy options to our clients, also enhancing the shopping experience through advanced technology and personalized service,” said Mercado Diferente’s Co-Founder and CEO Eduardo Petrelli.
