We just raised $14M to build the AI-native bank for real estate in LatAm, starting with rent. 🕊️
Rent is the biggest monthly payment for 50M households across LatAm.
Yet it still runs on co-signers, paperwork, and spreadsheets.
We're changing that...
In just 18 months:
🏢 500+ property managers
🏠 200K+ tenants & landlords
💸 $1.6B+ in annualized rent payments
🇨🇴 #1 rent payments platform in Colombia, the world's 4th most rent-penetrated market
It's time for rent to fly! 🕊️
Excited to share that Palomma (YC W23) has raised a $10M Series A led by Cometa, bringing its total funding to $14M! 🚀
🇨🇴 In just 18 months, the company has become Colombia's leading rent payments platform, processing $1.6B+ in annualized rental payments as it builds the AI-native bank for real estate in LatAm.
Having led Palomma's Seed round, we're incredibly proud to have backed @ciprianoec11 and the entire team once again!
Thrilled to be part of this journey. Congratulations to Cometa and all fellow investors!🕊️

Proud to see our Founder, @pbarbieri, closing Norte Day in São Paulo! 🇧🇷
Brazil has been a core market in 17Sigma's strategy from day one. Thanks to our friends at Norte Ventures for the invitation and for bringing the ecosystem together.
Excited for what's ahead across Latin America🚀
Creemos que el talento extraordinario puede venir de cualquier lugar de América Latina.
Desde 17Sigma apostamos temprano por los fundadores que están construyendo las próximas grandes compañías de la región.
Gracias @iProUP por contar nuestra historia y la visión de @pbarbieri y @biancasassoon👇

Ayer Argentina perdió la final del Mundial.
Hay días que recuerdan por qué la resiliencia importa. En el deporte, como en la construcción de empresas, el resultado de un día nunca define una trayectoria.
Con esa reflexión dando vueltas en la cabeza, les comparto una conversación que disfruté muchísimo con @Alanzuchovicki y @oligolds.
Gracias a los dos por la invitación, la curiosidad y las excelentes preguntas. Fue un placer conversar sobre cómo construimos @17Sigma, qué buscamos en los fundadores en los que invertimos y por qué seguimos creyendo en el enorme potencial de América Latina.

We continue to be impressed by what the FieldData team is building 🇦🇷🌱
Using AI + WhatsApp to turn voice notes from the field into structured operational data for agriculture is a brilliant approach.
@MarcusLaszlo and @fpingham are true founder-market fit 🤖
