WHY

We believe that the association of intellectual capital and professional network can leverage capital towards better returns in the long run.

Doing this with partners that share a set of values and principles and that have developed common trust along decades of knowing each other and working together is our most important asset.

WHAT

We invest in private companies in developing stages, both in Brazil and abroad, which hold a high growth potential leveraged by technology and innovation.

We focus on minority investments, are agnostic in our investment thesis and aim at businesses that have validated product fit, proven go-to-market strategy and are already generating revenue.

We look for outstanding entrepreneurs that are interested to capitalize on our experience and network.

We seek extraordinary companies that:

  • Address relevant business opportunities.
  • Offer strong value proposition.
  • Own a robust hard-to-copy business model: cutting-edge technology + differentiated business processes + strong team and organization.
  • Have potential for accelerated profitable growth.
  • Are preferably "asset light”.
  • Have great founders who value guidance.

WHO

We are former partners of Accenture, joined by a former CEO of Pepsico Beverages South America, with more than two hundred years of accumulated business experience and personal capital investments.

    Diligent Selection

    All opportunities undergo a structured screening process with the direct participation of all partners and a detailed assessment involving investment thesis, business case, operational & financial status, customer satisfaction, as well as investors’ profile.
  • 03
    Value Added
    We will proactively participate in investment opportunities, by adding value with strategy, management and promoting the invested companies through our network.
