Gunderson Dettmer Advised Mexico Clara $70 Million Series B and Clara Reaches Unicorn Status

Partner Daniel M. Green represented Fintech Clara and led the Firms’s deal team

Gunderson advised Mexico Clara, a corporate spend-management Fintech, $70 million funding in a Series B round from Coatue — the investment manager which has also bet on names such as Bytedance (TikTok), Deel, Cloudwalk, and Bitso.

The new round brings Clara’s valuation to $1 billion, making the fintech the newest Mexican unicorn and the first Latin American startup to reach unicorn status in less than one year of operations.

Clara was founded in 2020 by Gerry Colyer and Diego García, who worked together at Grow Mobility, a bicycle and scooter rental company. In eight months of operation, Clara has about 1,000 corporate clients in Mexico — a third of them are high-growth technology companies such as Creditas, Kavak, Casai, and Valoreo.
