Funding LatAm’s Gig Leasing Leader

For millions of workers across Latin America, access to a car is access to income. Yet traditional automotive finance was never designed for gig workers — or for anyone whose employment doesn’t fit into neat, predictable boxes. Even more so than in the United States, lenders still rely on rigid credit models, formal employment histories, and high friction processes that systematically exclude people who are otherwise perfectly capable of paying and performing.

Leasy exists to change that.

Founded in Peru in 2018, Leasy is a car subscription platform built to give access to workers who would otherwise be locked out of vehicle ownership or leasing altogether. But Leasy’s innovation goes far beyond alternative credit scoring. The company has built a seamless, full-service experience — covering vehicle access, maintenance, repairs, and ongoing operations — so drivers can focus on earning, not managing a car.

This combination of inclusion and operational simplicity is what makes Leasy powerful. It turns what is normally a stressful, bureaucratic process into a plug-and-play service for the new economy.

After proving the model in Peru, Leasy has successfully expanded to Mexico, showing that this approach can scale across markets where traditional lenders still fall short, while scoring partnerships with major players like Uber, Cabify, DiDi and InDrive. We’re delighted to welcome Leasy, and founders Gregorio Gilardini and Alejandro Garay, to the MobilityVC portfolio and family.

Too often, investors miss opportunities in Latin America because they lack local insight — or underestimate the operational complexity required to serve these markets well. MobilityVC invests with boots on the ground in every continent and deep sectoral expertise, allowing us to back teams like Leasy with conviction.

With our deep, value-adding relationships across the automotive sector – which allowed us to unlock improved car purchase prices for Leasy – we were also able to secure preferential pricing for the investors who joined us in supporting this investment: creating alignment across founders, operators, and capital from day one.

The MobilityVC team is actively sourcing more opportunities like this. Reach out if you’d like to learn more.

Here’s to accelerating access — and opportunity — in 2026. 🚀
