  • The equity funding comes from venture capital firms including Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures, with additional participation from GIC Private Limited, a Singaporean sovereign wealth fund.
  • This funding round adds to the $65 million Series B raise completed by Addi in the summer of 2021.
  • In late 2021, Addi also secured $200 million in an equity and debt financing round, resulting in a valuation exceeding $700 million.
  • However, according to an interview with Bloomberg, Santiago Suárez, Addi’s CEO and co-founder, revealed that the company has since halved its valuation.
  • Despite experiencing strong growth, Addi has decided to postpone its expansion into Brazil and Mexico, prioritizing the consolidation of its position in the Colombian market.
