Documented cause
Cumplo was Chile's pioneering P2P invoice financing platform founded by Juan Pablo Vial and Francisco Javier González, raising ~$8M. In 2019-2020, the Chilean social uprising (estallido social) starting October 18, 2019, combined with COVID-19, caused SME default rates to spike on the platform. Lender confidence collapsed, new capital inflows stopped, and Cumplo was forced into a deep operational restructuring in 2020, effectively ceasing its original P2P model to survive as a transformed entity.
Lesson
“P2P platforms must hold default reserves sufficient for simultaneous political and pandemic crises.”
