B2Chat

Pamela and her team identified a critical pain point in Latin America's business landscape: companies were receiving WhatsApp messages from customers on a single phone line, but had no way to track, measure, or audit those conversations when multiple agents needed to respond. There was no visibility into customer service metrics or performance. This gap became the spark for B2Chat.

The team launched B2Chat in 2017 with a minimal viable product focused on WhatsApp channel management and team coordination. The product allowed businesses to assign multiple agents to WhatsApp lines and gain visibility into conversations. The core value proposition was straightforward: measure and manage what was happening in your WhatsApp customer communication channel.

Pamela's first customer came through direct outreach to a large Colombian producer. When she spoke with them, they articulated the exact problem B2Chat solved: "We have a WhatsApp line in a phone. There's a lot of people trying to respond to that line. Customers are going and chatting with that line, but we don't have measurement of what's happening in that line." Pamela pitched her solution, they accepted, and that customer became a founding account—one they still retain today.

The company grew steadily for four years, reaching 300 customers and approximately $60k MRR by year four. A year ago, they raised $750k in a pre-seed round from investors including Globant (a major Argentine software company) at a $7.3M valuation. That capital fueled product improvements and team expansion from 7 to 35 people. They've doubled revenue in the past year to $120k MRR, serving 500 customers at an average ticket of $200/month. Their inbound motion generates approximately 700 leads per month, converting 30-40 into customers. However, Pamela acknowledged they're still optimizing their conversion funnel and sales efficiency—account executives currently target 12 customers per month quota but haven't fully reached that yet. Churn is healthy at 1.8% monthly (about 5-6 customers leaving), with customer lifetime value around 2 years.

With 35 employees (30% engineers, ~15 support staff, 7 sales reps), B2Chat is focused on deepening penetration in Latin America before expanding to the US market. Pamela is not raising capital this year, instead prioritizing customer growth and product features. She plans to raise a Series A round of approximately $5M in the next 12 months. The company is adding WhatsApp API monetization and additional channel support (Messenger, Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger), positioning itself as a comprehensive omnichannel communication platform for businesses across Latin America.
