About Volanty

Founded in 2016 by Mauricio Feldman and Antonio Avellar, Volanty emerged as a technology-driven platform in Brazil's pre-owned car market. The Rio de Janeiro-based company developed an online peer-to-peer marketplace designed to streamline the historically complex process of buying and selling used vehicles. For sellers, Volanty managed the entire transaction, from vehicle inspection and professional photography to negotiations with potential buyers.

Read full description

The platform's value proposition for buyers included access to high-quality cars at fair market prices, supplemented by a 12-month warranty and a 9-day buyback guarantee, which cultivated a transparent and secure purchasing environment. Volanty's business model centered on facilitating these transactions, likely earning a commission or fee from each sale, positioning itself as a key intermediary in the consumer-to-consumer used car segment. The company operated primarily in Brazil, with a headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.

Volanty demonstrated significant growth, securing a total of $19.7 million in funding across three rounds from notable investors such as Kaszek, Monashees, Canary, and SoftBank Group. The funding journey began with a seed round in 2017, followed by a Series A in 2018 and a substantial $17.6 million Series B round in August 2019. This investment trajectory culminated in its acquisition by Creditas on August 5, 2021, marking a major milestone.
