Pulpos, a startup focused on transitioning Mexican small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to the cloud, has closed a $4M seed funding round. Andreessen Horowitz, H20 Capital Innovation, Latitud, and Newtopia participated in the round.
Pulpos will use the funding to expand their presence in Mexico, specifically with the opening of a new office in Guadalajara. The founders will also grow their software development team and enhance the platform’s Point of Sale (POS) capabilities with artificial intelligence integration.
“Our goal is to offer the best product on the market with an interface that allows merchants to set up their store in minutes and from the cloud, accompanied by the support they deserve,” said Frank Martin, co-founder of Pulpos.
