Case Title
From Mexico to Europe: A FinTech Made Ready for a Series A
1. Scenario
- Client Archetype: Payments FinTech.
- Sector: Financial Services / Payments.
- Operation Vector: Mexico → Europe (Access to Investment).
2. The Strategic Challenge
A Mexican payments fintech with significant traction wanted to raise a Series A with European funds in order to expand into the European market. It had held conversations with several funds that all ended the same way: “we like the business, but we don’t understand the structure”, because its Mexican corporate architecture was not legible to European investors.
3. The META Channel Solution Architecture
The Orbital Investment & Execution Hub carried out the transformation needed to make the company investable for European funds. A new structure with a holding company in an acceptable jurisdiction was designed and implemented, financial statements were prepared under IFRS standards, the investment narrative was built and the due diligence was pre-packaged in a structured data room.
4. Ecosystem Orchestration: Layers in Action
Layer 5 (Substantive Legal), led by META Channel, designed the new corporate architecture geared towards international investment. Layer 2 (Reference Partners) prepared the financial documentation under IFRS and the valuation model, while Layer 4 (Technological) implemented the structured data room and Layer 1 (Institutional) connected with European fintech funds with a specific LATAM thesis.
