Comun’s mission is to help Hispanic immigrants turn their hard work into upward mobility — starting with financial services that support their transition from a cash-based system to the digital economy.
We offer checking accounts that can be opened using 100+ types of Latin American IDs, access to over 90K locations nationwide to deposit cash, international transfers to 17 countries at market-leading rates, and 24/7 bilingual customer support with <5 min SLA across email, chat, and phone.
We currently process over $1.5B in annual transaction volume and surpassed $100M in annualized international transfers just six months after launch. Comun has raised $40M from top investors including Redpoint, Costanoa Ventures, and South Park Commons. Our team brings experience from leading fintech companies like Brex, Nubank, and Mercury.
We believe immigrants are the ultimate entrepreneurs — driven by relentless ambition and a vision for a better future for their families.

Millions of people depend on their employee benefits for healthcare, financial protection, and support. Today, information travels in real-time, but it can still take months to enroll in benefits. Delays, errors, and gaps in coverage are all too common.
Noyo is the solution. As the first operating system for benefits, we’re pioneering a new category of technology that transforms how ben-admin companies can manage, exchange, and leverage enrollment data.
Our solutions eliminate costs and complexity while powering new possibilities for HR teams and employees.

Numa helps auto dealers run their stores with AI Agents.
AI agents who answer every single call, rescue every missed call.
AI agents who automate appointment scheduling.
AI agents who flag customer heat cases.
AI agents who send RO status updates.
AI agents who coach service advisors.
AI agents who recognize and fulfill equity trade-in opportunities.
Numa is the only auto dealership AI trusted by 1000 dealers. Numa is also the only dealership AI that blends Silicon Valley DNA with Automotive DNA. Silicon Valley serial entrepreneurs, 50+ AI / Machine Learning & PhD Engineers and 150+ years combined of dealership GM experience. It’s like if Roger Penske and Steve Jobs joined forces to raise $50M from Google, Mitsui (500+ rooftops) and Tesla’s founding investor to build AI for dealerships.
Numa tackles the dealership communication crisis head-on. We’ve handled 20M calls for dealers in the last year (10% appointment related). For AI newbies who show flashy demos and have few real customers, remember they can only help with up to 10% of calls. Numa handles all communications across voice, text, web. Because Numa is a shared inbox for customer comms, we give dealership leaders unprecedented visibility into communications... and the accountability that comes with it. No more wondering how many customers are behind those red blinking lights on your phones and who hasn’t responded. Numa helps dealers manage the work of their team, humans and AI together.
With Numa, dealers respond faster — from 23 hrs average to under 20 min. We rescue thousands of ROs and millions of RO $ per year, per rooftop. Also, dealer service advisors love working in Numa. They learn and ramp faster and stay longer — saving dealerships countless $ in training, recruiting and lost productivity.
Numa drives exceptional dealer communications which drives exceptional CSI which drives lifelong customer loyalty and repeat business.
Altogether, this is the AI-native dealership movement.
