Webrock Ventures is pleased to announce that its portfolio company Lara, a leading healthcare financing platform has secured a SEK 45 million credit investment from a leading Brazilian credit asset management firm, to further bolster loan origination efforts.
This new funding will allow Lara to accelerate clinic onboarding and resume loan origination growth through its point-of-sale (POS) financing platform, which enables patients to access installment-based healthcare loans directly at clinics, without needing a credit card.
Lara currently partners with over 1,000 clinics in Brazil and has experienced strong traction with its fully digital onboarding, instant credit decisions, and automated contract signing.
“This will further scale Lara’s operations and confirms the strong demand for embedded financing solutions in Brazilian healthcare,” says Joakim Pops, CEO and co-founder, Webrock Ventures.
