Capim is a São Paulo-based vertical SaaS startup founded in 2021 that provides dental clinics with a cloud-based operating system for managing operations, including patient scheduling, financial tracking, and a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) financing solution allowing patients to pay for treatments in up to 36 installments.[1][2][3][4] It serves dental clinics of all sizes in Brazil and their patients, solving key pain points like high treatment costs, limited payment flexibility compared to credit cards (often capped at 6-12 installments), and inefficient clinic management, which boosts clinic revenue and patient accessibility.[1][2][3][4] Capim has demonstrated strong growth, tripling revenue in 2024, expanding from an initial pilot to serving 6,000 clinics (adding over 4,000 that year), facilitating care for over 60,000 patients, and projecting 10,000+ clinics by year-end; it reached break-even at the end of the prior year and raised $26.7M in Series A funding (total ~$29M) in early 2025 to fuel expansion.[1][2][3]
Capim was co-founded in July 2021 by Marcelo Lutz and Roberto Biselli, who serve as co-CEOs, after they met at INSEAD business school and won the INSEAD Venture Competition in December 2020 with their idea for dental financing.[2][3] Their entrepreneurial backgrounds converged on addressing Brazil's dental care accessibility issues, where high costs deter patients; they launched a successful pilot in early 2021 post-MBA, officially starting operations with a $2.5M seed round.[1][2][3] Early traction came quickly, evolving from a financing-focused tool into a full SaaS platform, now with 130 employees (up from 115 a year prior).[3]
Capim rides the wave of vertical SaaS and embedded finance in healthcare, specifically targeting Brazil's massive dental market where affordability barriers limit access despite high demand.[1][2][3] Timing aligns with Brazil's fintech boom, including PIX's real-time payments and rising BNPL adoption, making flexible financing timely amid economic pressures on consumers.[1][2][3] Favorable market forces include underserved dental clinics needing digitization (Capim added 4,000+ in one year) and investors' interest in healthtech, as seen in its Series A co-led by Valor Capital and QED Investors.[1] It influences the ecosystem by democratizing dental care for 60,000+ patients, accelerating clinic growth, and paving the way for AI-driven efficiencies in vertical-specific software.[2][3]
Capim is poised for rapid scaling with its $26.7M Series A, targeting POS rollout, AI tools, and 10,000+ clinics, potentially achieving profitability soon after break-even.[1][2][3] Trends like AI integration in healthcare ops, BNPL expansion in emerging markets, and Brazil's digital payment infrastructure (e.g., PIX) will propel it, while vertical SaaS consolidation favors specialists like Capim over generalists.[2][3] Its influence may grow by setting a model for fintech-SaaS hybrids in other healthcare verticals, transforming how clinics monetize and patients access care—building on its mission to make dental services as accessible as routine checkups.[1][4]
