Pefai

Pefai is a Mexico City-based software development company that operates as a no-code platform enabling users to create digital applications and websites without writing code. Founded in 2019 by Nicolas Correnti, Bernardo Mucino, and Jorge Zarco Zurita, the company positions itself as an AI-powered development tool that converts design files, particularly from Figma, into functional websites and applications. The platform features an AI assistant called Steve that allows users to describe their software requirements in plain language and generates custom applications within seconds. Pefai targets designers, businesses, and entrepreneurs who need to rapidly deploy digital experiences without technical coding expertise. The company became a member of FinTech México, the Mexican fintech association, in 2020, suggesting its application in financial services contexts. Pefai has raised approximately $1.1 million in total funding across three rounds, including an $850,000 seed round in December 2021. Investors include Global Founders Capital, MANA Tech, and 99 Startups. The company is headquartered at Boulevard Miguel de Cervantes in Mexico City and employs between 10-50 people according to various sources. While Pefai markets its platform as enabling the creation of digital experiences that can be personalized for each user, the company operates in the broader software development and IT services space rather than providing direct financial services. Its inclusion in the fintech ecosystem appears to stem from its potential application as an infrastructure tool for fintech companies seeking to build customer-facing applications quickly.
