Arkangeles new leadership under Eloísa Cadenas to connect investors with Mexican startups and SMEs, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico City): Arkangeles is beginning a new phase under the leadership of Eloísa Cadenas, with the goal of bringing investors closer to startups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and real estate projects seeking capital to grow. The company operates as a Collective Funding Institution (IFC) authorized by Mexico’s National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV).
Its proposal includes expanding investment alternatives through verifiable information, transparent conditions, and an assessment of the risks associated with each opportunity. Mexico has approximately 1,100 domestic and foreign fintech companies, yet access to financing remains an obstacle for many businesses.
According to the Fintech Mexico Insights 2026 report, the country accounts for roughly 20% of fintech companies in Latin America and the Caribbean. More than 70 million people use digital financial services, and investment in fintech startups reached $970 million in 2024.
However, the sector’s expansion contrasts with the difficulties many companies face in obtaining funds. About 77% of Mexican SMEs do not access formal bank credit, a limitation that can affect their ability to invest, expand operations, and adopt innovations.
Cadenas, CEO of Arkangeles, said the challenge is to make use of existing capabilities within the financial ecosystem. “We have entrepreneurs seeking financing and investors seeking opportunities; we need to build better bridges between both,” the executive told NotiPress.
Crowdfunding represents an alternative for channeling resources to business projects outside traditional credit schemes. In this model, investors can identify participation opportunities, considering the characteristics of each business and the investment conditions.
Arkangeles’s strategy also seeks to strengthen the confidence of those who participate in digital investment platforms. Clarity about possible returns, participation conditions, and data protection are elements the company considers necessary to develop this market.
“We can have the best technology in the world, but if the investor does not trust, we do not scale. Trust and regulation are fundamental so people can evaluate opportunities, understand risks, and participate with greater certainty in the financial ecosystem,” Cadenas said.
The platform’s regulatory authorization forms part of its institutional operation, although the opportunities offered carry the risks inherent to any investment.
The new CEO has more than a decade of experience in digital finance, tokenization, and digital assets, working as a specialist and international speaker in the field since 2014. She is also co-founder of PXO, a stablecoin pegged to the Mexican peso, and founder of Cryptofintech, a consultancy specializing in digital assets.
In 2026 she received the Woman in Finance LATAM Award for Excellence in Innovation and completed doctoral studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Under her leadership, Arkangeles aims to strengthen its role as an intermediary between companies that require financing and investors interested in participating in businesses with growth potential, in a market where demand for business capital remains significant.
