Gabriel Ferraz is the Co-Founder and CEO of Creem, a Merchant of Record platform built to simplify global payments, tax compliance, and revenue operations for AI-native startups and micro-SaaS builders.

A product engineer turned CEO, Gabriel relocated from Brazil to Tallinn, Estonia in 2019, having previously founded Brazil's first crypto software agency and scaled a crypto payments platform to over $200 million in GMV.

Gabriel identified a critical gap in financial infrastructure for lean, globally distributed software teams, building Creem after experiencing firsthand the complexity of selling software across borders.

He and co-founder Alec Erasmus previously worked together at fintech company Change Invest, combining deep expertise in payment systems to launch Creem in September 2024 after just three months of building.

Creem hit $1M ARR without a sales team, achieved the #1 Fintech Product of the Month on Product Hunt, and now hosts over 20,000 stores and 1,000+ active merchants on its platform.
