Company profile
researched Aug 2026Inventa is a São Paulo-based B2B wholesale marketplace that connects consumer brands with independent retailers across Latin America. The platform is designed to give small and medium-sized retailers — who are traditionally underserved by fragmented, offline wholesale distribution channels in the region — access to a broad, curated portfolio of brands at competitive prices through a single, easy-to-use online interface, along with adjacent services such as purchasing credit and logistics/delivery.
The company was founded by Marcos Salama (Founder & CEO), Fernando Carrasco (Co-founder, described by Greylock as Chief Data/Development Officer and by Crunchbase as overseeing Operations, Technology & Data), and Laura Camargo (Co-Founder, CFO & People). Salama holds an MBA-level education from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and previously worked as an Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, giving the founding team a mix of strategy-consulting and operating/technical backgrounds typical of well-pedigreed LatAm B2B commerce startups.
Inventa operates in the wholesale/B2B e-commerce and retail-technology sector, positioning itself against global wholesale marketplace players such as Faire and JOOR, as well as broader Latin American e-commerce infrastructure incumbents such as MercadoLibre (per Crunchbase's listed 'similar companies'). Its core sectors/categories on Crunchbase are B2B, E-Commerce, Marketplace, Retail, Retail Technology, and Wholesale.
Business model
B2B wholesale marketplace / online platform connecting brands (suppliers) with independent retailers in Latin America, monetizing via marketplace transactions and associated services (credit, logistics).
Marketplace transaction fees / take-rate on wholesale orders placed by retailers with brands, plus likely fintech/logistics add-on services (unconfirmed specifics).

Profile (continued)
On the funding side, Crunchbase records three completed funding rounds for Inventa (Seed, Series A, and Series B), with a total of 19 disclosed investors across all rounds, including Greylock, A* (A Capital), and ONEVC; specific round dates, amounts, and full investor line-ups were not publicly disclosed in the sources available for this research (Crunchbase's public page obfuscates exact figures behind a paywall). Greylock is identified as the lead investor of the Series B round (13 participants) on Crunchbase, while Greylock's own portfolio page states its relationship with Inventa began ('first partnered') at the Series A stage — consistent with Greylock having participated in the earlier Series A and then led the subsequent Series B. Mike Duboe, a Greylock Venture Partner whose focus areas include B2B commerce and marketplaces (and who previously built growth teams at Tilt and Stitch Fix), is the named Greylock contact/investor for the deal.
As of the most recent data available, Inventa is reported to have 101–250 employees and remains an active, privately held company with no public funding total, valuation, or detailed financial metrics disclosed. Notably, the company's stated website domain, inventa.shop, did not resolve via DNS at the time of this research (August 2026), even though it is listed as the official website on Crunchbase and matches the company's social-media handles (Facebook: inventa.shop, LinkedIn: inventashop); Greylock's own portfolio page instead links to inventa.com.br as the company's website. This is flagged as a data-quality/verification concern rather than a confirmed fact about the company's current operating status.
