That round saw participation from Kaszek and CEOs of several firms such as Hippo Insurance CEO and co-founder Assaf Wand; Creditas founder and CEO Sergio Furio; iFood founder Patrick Sigrist, and ClassPass CEO Fritz Lanman.
Others who joined the round were senior executives from Robinhood, Stripe, Wise, Carta, and Capital One.
Justos claims that it has over 12,000 people on a waiting list.
