{"ATTRIBUTION_NOTE":"ONE COMPANY, ONE PRODUCT LINE, TWO MARKETS. Cherry (Disruptive Learning, S.A.P.I. de C.V. + Happy Finances For All, LLC) is a single, EBITDA-positive company (not yet profitable on the net line) with one team of 6 selling cross-border tax and accounting — \"cross-border\" meaning Cherry itself operates in more than one market, not that its customers must be. `markets.mexico` is LIVE and has been since 2018: all MRR, ARR, customer-count, GMV, margin and named-logo figures belong to it, they are the company’s real current figures, and Mexico is not pre-launch and needs no launch date. `markets.united_states` OPENS in Q4 2026: 50 waitlist signups and zero paying customers today. Figures under `company` (revenue, profitability, EBITDA, default alive, team, raise, operating model) describe the whole company. Never present the Mexico figures as US traction, and never describe the company as pre-revenue, because it is not.
