who we are
at r2, we believe that small and medium businesses are the productive engine of society. Small and medium businesses (smbs) make up over 90% of companies in latin america, yet they face a trillion-dollar credit gap. Our mission is to unlock smbs’ potential by providing financial solutions that are tailored to their needs. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of latin america - where smbs financial needs are satisfied without ever having to go to a bank.
R2 enables platforms in latin america to embed financial services that smbs can then leverage (starting with revenue-based financing and buy now pay later for business customers). We are a tight knit team coming from organizations such as google, nubank, uber, mckinsey & co., mercado libre, globant, j.p. Morgan, clip, and ualá. We are backed by world-class investors such as gradient ventures (google’s ai-focused fund), general catalyst, y combinator, femsa ventures, payu, among others.

The compliance & legal area is a full-service in-house legal department responsible for a wide range of legal and compliance duties. By using our knowledge of r2´s business and its corporate culture, the compliance & legal team proactively assesses and manages risks and deals with the legal matters r2 confronts.
