First Marketing Hire

About Avra Avra is a deep tech platform powered by foundational AI that translates the complexity of SMBs (Small and Medium Businesses) into strategic decisions for large enterprises. We develop our own foundational models from the ground up—without relying on third-party solutions—to deliver innovative insights that empower some of the leading enterprises across Latin America. Today we focus on three main areas: (1) boosting underwriting (by increased recommended credit limits and reduction in delinquency); (2) increasing enterprise revenue through hyper-personalization of offerings to SMBs; and (3) customer segmentation to attract the right kind of SMBs to the sales funnel.
