Cemex Ventures - Fostering the construction revolution

Mango

Mango is a fintech building the financial infrastructure that keeps construction moving in Latin America. We provide real-time credit and simple technology that automate B2B payments between contractors and material suppliers, eliminating liquidity bottlenecks that slow down the industry. With intelligent risk, transparent processes, and a product designed specifically for the construction cycle—not generic financing—we help the entire supply chain sell, buy, and build with confidence.

Mango launched in 2022 with a clear mission: to digitize and modernize one of the most real, structural, and impactful industries in Latin America — construction. We operate as a fintech focused on solving the liquidity frictions that hold back thousands of hardware stores, distributors, suppliers, and contractors every day.

In an industry where more than half of companies experience payment delays of up to 52 days, traditional financing simply doesn’t work. Generic loans, punitive interest structures, and credit products detached from the construction cycle create more obstacles than solutions. Contractors need to advance in order to get paid. Distributors need liquidity to sell material. Yet both sides face the same bottleneck: cash flow.

Mango’s solution is not “more credit” — it’s the right credit.
We built a platform that enables real-time credit for purchasing construction materials and automates B2B payments between developers, contractors, and suppliers. Our model is designed specifically for the rhythm of construction: a product that incentivizes material flow, supports consistency in a sector full of peaks and delays, and helps trust scale across the entire chain.

Today, Mango already works with around 500 contractor clients, proving strong adoption and validating the urgency of a liquidity solution purpose-built for the sector.

Backed by $3M in seed funding from leading investors including Ironspring, Brick & Mortar, and BBVA Spark, we’re now scaling our product, our team, and our culture. We operate with real customers and are positioned at the exact moment when the market needs an intelligent, construction-native financial infrastructure to keep projects moving.

At Mango, we move fast, build transparently, and work on real problems with real impact. Our goal is simple: unlock the construction industry so everyone in the chain can sell more, build more, and grow with confidence.
