  "account": "Brazilian startup Plinq has successfully raised $254K in its initial funding round, with leadership from Spectra Investments. Notable angel investors include Anton Osika from Lovable, Liana Selles from Ella Wealth, Fernando Montero from Doji, and José Gerardo Carrero, a former P&G IT director. The company, founded in 2025 by Sabrine Matos, offers a safety app specifically designed for women in Brazil. Plinq enables users to check the criminal and legal records of potential romantic partners by searching public court records and official gazettes using a person's name and phone number. The newly acquired funds will be utilized to launch the mobile app in early September and grow the 10-person team. Additionally, Plinq will transition from individual searches to a subscription-based model, exploring revenue streams through advertising and government contracts. The app has already attracted over 60,000 users who have conducted nearly 85,000 searches since its web platform launch in June 2025.",
