I'm excited for @PropelVC to lead @akua_tech's $4.3M Seed round and work with @jjbehrend, @carlosm61786337, and Rodrigo Rodrigues! Akua empowers payment gateways, processors, PayFacs, orchestrators, and traditional acquirers to overcome legacy system limitations through a cloud-native platform with direct access to any network. The three co-founders individually are fast-moving, clear communicators and relentless recruiters - and collectively built a distinct culture with employees across LatAm. This is the team to deliver scalable, secure, and efficient payment processing solutions for LatAm! Since @PropelVC's first LatAm investment in 2018, we’ve grown to 12 regional portfolio companies, including @timeneon, @NomadGlobalApp, @truora, and @fintoc_com.

This is not FTX, it is not LUNA, it is just a bank that f'd up. And now some other bank is about to get a killer deal by acquiring a VERY valuable asset on the cheep and the CEO will lose his job (maybe) but it will absolutely, w/o a doubt, not impact your deposits. Stay calm.
