Premium Drop$85M · Payments + AI Eval
2 startups with founder intel, hiring signals, and outreach playbooks.
Yuno
y.uno · Bogotá, Colombia (SF ops; new GCC HQ in Doha, Qatar) · AI-native operating system for global payments (one API, 1,000+ payment methods, 190+ countries)
What they're building
Payment orchestration via single API — one-click checkout, intelligent routing, AI fraud detection, KYC/KYB, payouts, and stablecoin-related services — with 460 integrations across 190+ countries. Banks and PSPs white-label the tech. Expanding to in-person payments and agentic commerce.
Why this matters
Yuno frames its Series B as funding a path to profitability rather than buying growth — 'AI has changed the economics of building this company; we grow faster and operate leaner.' The GCC push (Doha HQ, Saudi Central Bank certification) targets fastest-growing real-time payments market.
