Capital markets infrastructure for debt, derivatives, and receivables management
Laqus operates as a financial infrastructure provider in Brazil's capital markets, managing over R$310 billion in assets across debt instruments, derivatives, and receivables. The tech stack—NET Core, C#, TypeScript, Angular, Node.js on AWS with PostgreSQL and MongoDB—is shaped for high-throughput transactional systems. Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales and finance roles, while project focus spans billing/collections optimization and client expansion, suggesting a phase of operational maturation and revenue-process hardening.
Laqus (formerly Mark 2 Market) provides treasury management, financial risk services, and capital markets infrastructure to large and mid-market corporations, public companies, and banking institutions in Brazil. In December 2020, the company received authorization from Brazil's securities regulator (CVM) to operate as a Central Depositária de Recebíveis do Agronegócio (CRA) — the only entity besides B3 licensed for this role. The platform handles mark-to-market pricing, financial instrument management, hedge accounting, and reporting; it processes securitizations and debt issuances for capital markets participants. Based in São Paulo with 51–200 employees, Laqus is privately held and operates exclusively in Brazil.
