PIPO was born out of the conviction that the Venture Capital ecosystem has reached a turning point in Brazil. With the high number of tech companies achieving solid and sizable exits in the recent months and a maturing set of ventures making it past the ‘Death Valley’ of the early-stage cycle, it became clear that we are before a huge opportunity to back the next step of winners in the tech space.

Not only that, but PIPO’s close interaction with both entrepreneurs and significant investors such as family offices and equities firms enabled us to clearly see an enormous silo in the capital markets: while there were clear synergies between these two groups, no dedicated player was connecting them. This is where we find PIPO’s fundamental value: for entrepreneurs, we provide not only quick, hassle-free capital from sophisticated investors, but also a way to tap into their expertise and connections. For investors, we offer direct access to the best entrepreneurs in Brazil and LATAM, coupled with proprietary analysis on the investments and best-in-class deal terms, co-investments opportunities with the most renowned funds in the world.
