Mexican education technology startup Ginia has raised US $1.7 million in a pre-seed funding round to accelerate development of its artificial intelligence-powered platform and expand operations across Latin America, according to multiple funding reports.
The round was led by venture firm Wollef, with participation from NFX and Latitud, the startup said in financing disclosures.
Founded in 2025 by Antía Vázquez, Melissa Manrique and Renata Millet Ponce, Ginia aims to address structural disconnections between education and employment by using AI to guide students through career readiness and job placement. The platform supports users from résumé creation and interview preparation to matching with job opportunities, leveraging accessible communication channels such as WhatsApp.
Ginia executives said the fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development and market expansion in Mexico and broader Latin America, building on early traction as the region’s demand grows for digital tools that bridge skills gaps and improve graduate employability.
In a statement, co-founders described the funding as validation of their vision to “build the infrastructure that connects education and employment at a regional scale.”
The investment comes amid continued venture capital interest in Latin America’s edtech sector, where startups focused on job-focused learning and AI-enabled student support are attracting early-stage backing.
