Sebastián Noguera and Brynne McNulty Rojas

This entrepreneurial duo made their mark this year as they turned their proptech company into Colombia’s second unicorn, after Rappi. The company, which also has operations in Mexico, raised US$200 million in May to enter the select group of unicorns, after which it announced the closing of several additional lines of credit for US$75 million. Its business model promises customers to buy their home in 10 days, remodel it in less than 15 days and sell it in 45 to 60 days.
