About

Félix is a Miami-based WhatsApp-native cross-border remittance startup founded in 2020 by Manuel Godoy and Bernardo García. It lets users send money between the US and Latin America directly through WhatsApp, using AI and stablecoin rails for near-instant settlement. Its September 2026 Series C — $87M in equity led by Andreessen Horowitz plus a $113M debt facility from General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund — brought total funding to roughly $300M at an approximately $1.45B post-money valuation, roughly triple the ~$484.5M Series B valuation, pushing the company into unicorn status 123. Prior to the Series C, Félix had processed over $8 billion in remittances 2. Proceeds are earmarked for expansion beyond core Mexico corridors into El Salvador, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia 2.
