Pitch
Abstract Man on Beach
Do you want to introduce a startup?

Please apply and we will enter in contact.

We run live and recorded e-forums on Mondays, 7:00 PM São Paulo time. Meeting will last 1h 30min with the first 30 minutes reserved for the deck presentation & product and the remaining time focused on Q&A and interactions with our members.

If the potential investment meets our criteria and investment standards, we run a quick due diligence process and analysis before deciding to move forward with each investment.

Startup has to have 1) FulltimeTeam 2) TidyCaptable 3) ProprietaryTech 4) GrowingKPIs

Common terms are 1) Down-Round protection 2) KPIs reported Quarterly 3) Pro-Rata Rights 4) Drag & Tag Along 5) Put Option 6) Lock-Up 7) Non-Compete
 

For each investment we sign one simple set of paperwork, with straight forward language and conditions.

 

Even though we invest in just a fraction of the companies introduced to us, many companies that do no progress further in our process still benefit from it, as the group always provides inputs and feedbacks for entrepreneurs based on our members’ large experience in startups and business matters.

We are NOT a venture fund.
