Capital Lab Ventures

Capital Lab Ventures is a proprietary capital firm that partners early with founders using technology, combining investment with strategic, tactical and operational support. The firm invests its own balance sheet rather than outside limited-partner capital, and states a focus on helping local companies expand into global businesses. Its stated sectors are technology and early-stage entrepreneurship; check sizes, fund size and founding date are not disclosed.

The firm describes two principal lines of engagement. The first is early-stage partnership and capital: Capital Lab Ventures joins at an early point in a company's development and provides ongoing support intended to help portfolio companies scale sustainably. The second is founder support and network access, drawing on the firm's relationships to assist entrepreneurs through the course of building a business - an approach the firm positions as contributing more than funding alone. Investment decision-making is characterised as collaborative and fast, with an emphasis on long-term relationships with founders and on turning disruptive ideas into sustainable market leaders.

Capital Lab Ventures maintains a presence in São Paulo and London. Its stated technical domains are technology investing, strategic and operational support, and company scaling. The firm targets companies at the intersection of technology and entrepreneurship, with a particular interest in businesses aiming to grow beyond their home markets.
