HedgeCo.Net — Miami-based WhatsApp remittance platform Félix said it secured $200 million in Series C financing, structured as an $87 million equity tranche led by Andreessen Horowitz and a $113 million debt facility from General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund. Crunchbase News printed the September 1 announcement, the same $87 million / $113 million split, and equity participation from QED Investors, Castle Island Ventures, Switch Ventures, Contour Venture Partners, and Endeavor Catalyst. LatamList independently carried the same $200 million Series C total, the same a16z equity lead and General Catalyst debt structure, and the same co-investor slate, stating the raise roughly tripled Félix’s valuation versus its prior round and pushed the company into unicorn territory.
Cryptonomist’s week-of financing wrap independently framed Félix’s $200 million package—$87 million equity led by Andreessen Horowitz plus $113 million credit from General Catalyst—as the largest disclosed crypto-adjacent payments raise between August 31 and September 5. The company, founded in 2020 by Manuel Godoy and Bernardo García, said cumulative funding is now nearly $300 million and pointed to WhatsApp-native remittance rails for Latino customers in the United States into Latin America.
This is a closed financing package, not a rumor. Mark $200 million total, $87 million a16z-led equity, $113 million General Catalyst Customer Value Fund debt, and the ~threefold valuation step-up language as the hard tape. Do not invent a precise board-disclosed post-money if the company only said valuation “increased threefold,” and do not invent cumulative remittance GMV beyond what secondary wraps attribute. The allocator object is growth equity plus structured credit stacking behind a WhatsApp remittance unicorn.
