About Kontempo:
We’ve built the first payments and credit software designed specifically for Mexico’s leading industrial companies. We noticed that most suppliers of plastics, chemicals, concrete and glass (to name a few) used software to run their logistics operations, accounting processes, and sales functions but almost none had modern software to power their credit and collection systems. So we set out to change this, believing that a critical function that involves risk of financial loss and can also help close a big sale should be powered by the latest technologies and not run on slow, outdated spreadsheets or paper notebooks (yes, we’ve actually seen this).
Having launched almost three years ago, we are moving fast to tackle this massive opportunity of the $300 billion market for trade credit in Mexico. We’re already working with thousands of companies across the country and are steadily growing our team of experts in technology, risk and supply chain finance. We’re also backed by top global VC investors who’ve provided us with over $30 million in capital to fuel the growth of our business.
Our top priority now is to attract the best talent to join us on this exciting mission to both alleviate the problem of access to capital and build best in class technology that will help industrial suppliers turn their payments processes into an engine for growth. We look forward to receiving your application and learning more about you!
