Documented cause
Yuno built a payments orchestration layer for LatAm merchants, enabling them to connect multiple payment processors through a single API. With $25M raised and initial traction with large merchants, Yuno faced an existential problem: Stripe expanded aggressively into LatAm, Adyen signed direct deals with the largest merchants, and local processors built their own orchestration capabilities. Yuno could not sustain growth and shut down.
Lesson
“Payments infrastructure startups in LatAm must lock in long-term contracts with top merchants before incumbents replicate — or build a proprietary data asset that adds value beyond routing.”
