Certified Problem Solver

Kalto is a verified B2B payments and financing platform in Latin America, an alumnus of Y Combinator (W22), and was acquired by Tiendanube in April 2025. While the project submission provided poor quality data (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and offering no evidence), external verification confirms significant real-world traction, including ~$4M in funding and successful exit. The project demonstrates high utility in the LatAm fintech sector, solving critical cash-flow and reconciliation problems for SMEs.
