Corporacion Capsula

01 / WHAT IT BUILT

What the company did

Corporacion Capsula (CAPSULA) was an Argentine sustainable financial infrastructure startup founded in 2020. Born from the synergy between a software development company led by Francisco Gomez and a payment processing company led by Francisco Irigoite, it set out to unite resources against the economic and environmental crisis. Its thesis: people are losing confidence in banks and major currencies, and bitcoin can work as a hedge against chronic inflation - so Capsula built a solar-powered bitcoin mining company addressing the complete process from generation to distribution of 'green bitcoin', plus a new fintech, Brik, designed to facilitate financial procedures for users, reduce transaction fees, and educate on finances, targeting users across LATAM and Africa. It raised $1 million in a pre-seed round and had roughly 18 employees.
