Colombian FinTech Treinta Crosses $14M ARR
Hey Digital Banking Fanatic!
One of my portfolio companies just hit a major milestone.
In any business, sustainable, consistent growth is what matters. So when a company demonstrates that, it stands out, and Treinta is one of those companies.
The Colombian FinTech just crossed $14M in ARR, confirmed by co-founder and CEO Lluis Canadell in a LinkedIn post.
Treinta powers 8 million SMBs across the US and Latin America with simple tools for finance, inventory, and sales, so entrepreneurs can focus on what matters most: growing their business.
Huge congrats to the Treinta team!
