Cedro Capital

Cedro Capital is an independent asset management company headquartered in Brasília, Brazil, with a dual focus on venture capital and credit funds. The firm connects investors with innovative, high-growth companies, with an emphasis on technology businesses and scalable models in Central Brazil - a region outside the country's established startup centres in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Its venture capital strategy targets early-stage, high-growth technology companies, and the firm states it launched Central Brazil's first venture capital fund in 2016.

Alongside venture capital, Cedro Capital offers credit funds as part of its broader asset management business. Within its venture portfolio, the firm co-manages the GovTech Fund together with fund manager KPTL, a partnership approach that extends to its wider fund operations. Sector interest is concentrated in technology and, through the GovTech Fund, government technology.

The firm's stated approach is to work alongside founders from investment through exit, providing support beyond capital in the form of financing, strategy, management and governance assistance. Cedro Capital also helps portfolio companies pursue mergers and acquisitions with the aim of maximising value at exit. Its geographic remit covers Brasília, Central Brazil and Brazil more broadly, with a particular focus on supporting entrepreneurs in Central Brazil.
