DinDin

DinDin was a Brazilian financial technology company that operated as a digital bank and provided a social payment application. The platform enabled users to manage their finances through a digital account and a prepaid card, facilitating transfers, payments, and financial control.

The company was founded in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2016 by co-founders Stephanie Fleury, who served as CEO, and Brunna Beccaro Seabra. Fleury brought extensive executive experience from her time at major telecommunications and technology companies such as TIM, Oi, and Cisco Jasper in Silicon Valley. Her background in business administration and project management informed the company's strategic direction. The founders' vision was to create a secure and user-friendly platform for financial transactions.

In April 2018, DinDin secured $181,000 in a funding round from investors, including Village Capital. This investment supported the development and expansion of its services. The company's key milestone was its acquisition in late 2020 by Bitz, the digital wallet and subsidiary of one of Brazil's largest banks, Bradesco. This exit marked a significant event in the Latin American fintech scene, making Stephanie Fleury the first woman to sell a startup to a major bank in the region.
