information so we may better understand your disclosure.

Registration Statement on Form S-1
General
1.It appears that the price of your common stock has fluctuated significantly in the last
several months after completion of the merger transaction. Please revise your disclosure to
address high price volatility, potential causes of such volatility, if known, and add a
separately captioned risk factor to describe the risk to investors. In addition, on the
prospectus cover page, disclose the following:
•describe the recent price volatility in your stock and briefly disclose any known risks
of investing in your stock under these circumstances;
•for comparison purposes, disclose the market price of your common stock prior to the
recent price volatility in your stock; and
•describe any recent change in your financial condition or results of operations, such

as your earnings, revenues or other measure of company value that is consistent with
the recent change in your stock price. If no such change to your financial condition or
results of operations exists, disclose that fact.
2.Revise your prospectus to highlight any differences in the current trading price, the prices
that the Sponsor, private placement investors, PIPE investors, and other selling
securityholders acquired their shares and warrants, and the price at which the public
securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. Disclose, if true, that while the
Sponsor, private placement investors, PIPE investors, and other selling securityholders
may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public
securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they
purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price. Please
also disclose the potential profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current
trading price. Lastly, please include appropriate risk factor disclosure.
3.Please revise to update your disclosures throughout the filing and address areas that
appear to need updating or that present inconsistencies. Non-exclusive examples of areas
where disclosure should be updated are as follows:
•you refer to "[your] estimated financial position and results of operations" on page
47;
•you disclose on page 62 "pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not
give affect to any anticipated operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be
associated with the business combination";
•you disclose that you "believe that following the Closing of the Business
Combination, the sources of liquidity discussed above will continue to be sufficient to
fund [your] working capital requirements" on pages 108 and 134;
•your disclosure that "following the Business Combination, you will be subject to U.S.
federal and state income taxes" on pages 110 and 136;
•your list of named executives "who will be named executive officers ... of the
Company following Business Combination" on page 236; and
•you disclose on page 47 that "future resales" of shares after the consummation of the
business combination may cause your market price to drop significantly. This
statement should be updated given that this prospectus is facilitating those sales.

4.For each of the shares and warrants being registered for resale, disclose the price that the
selling securityholders paid for such shares and warrants.
5.Disclose the exercise price of the warrants compared to the market price of the underlying
securities. If the warrants are out the money, please disclose the likelihood that warrant
holders will not exercise their warrants and provide similar disclosure in the prospectus
summary, risk factors, MD&A and use of proceeds section and disclose that cash proceeds
associated with the exercises of the warrants are dependent on the stock price. As
applicable, describe the impact on your liquidity and update the discussion on the ability

of your company to fund your operations on a prospective basis with your current cash on
hand.
6.Please disclose the number of shares representing your public float. State, if true, that the
shares being registered for resale exceed your public float and state the percentage of your
public float that the shares being offered for resale represent. We also note that all of the
shares being registered for resale were purchased by the selling securityholders for prices
considerably below the current market price of the Class A common stock. Highlight the
significant negative impact sales of shares on this registration statement could have on the
public trading price of the Class A common stock.
Risk Factors, page 7
7.Include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure potential sales of
shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the public trading price of the
Class A common stock. To illustrate this risk, disclose the purchase price of the securities
being registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the
total number of shares outstanding. Also disclose that even though the current trading
price is below the SPAC IPO price, the private investors have an incentive to sell because
they will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares
than the public investors.

8.We note that the projected Economic Revenue for 2022 were $246.8 million, as set forth
in the unaudited prospective financial information management prepared and provided to
the Cartesian Growth Corporation's Board in connection with the evaluation of the
Business Combination. We also note that your actual net income for the Nine Months
Ended September 30, 2022 appears to be significantly lower than the projected Economic
Revenue, and as such it appears that you will miss your 2022 revenue projection. If
applicable, please update your disclosure in Liquidity and Capital Resources, and
elsewhere, to provide updated information about the company’s financial position and
further risks to the business operations and liquidity in light of these circumstances.
9.In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company
will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity
between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the Class A
common stock, expand your discussion of capital resources to address any changes in the
company’s liquidity position since the business combination. If the company is likely to
have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company’s ability
to raise additional capital.
10.Please expand your discussion here to reflect the fact that this offering involves the
potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss how such sales could
impact the market price of the company’s common stock. Your discussion should

highlight the fact that the selling shareholders will be able to sell all of their shares for so
long as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is available for
use.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
