Indicator Capital

B Venture Capital was founded in 2014 with the aim of supporting Brazilian startups and contributing to the growth of a better ecosystem, creating an ideal situation for entrepreneurs to reach their maximum potential. Many startups receive support from angel investors and/or accelerators in very early stages. However, not all startups can make that "big leap" on their own by simply receiving larger investments from venture capital funds. B Venture Capital focuses on this decisive phase for the success of a business. We work together with entrepreneurs to reach potential clients, design growth strategies, develop financial plans for subsequent investment rounds, and help recruit new team members. Additionally, BVC's network offers the opportunity to expand operations to the US, Europe, and Asia.

We are focused on helping them achieve their full potential by providing investment and strategic support to scale through all the region.

We invest in and support ambitious entrepreneurs to get them where they want to go, whether at early stages with sights on the US market, or at later stages looking to the potential of Europe. Frontline today is a team of 17 people with a growing portfolio of over 80 exceptional companies across Europe and North America, and an expanding, global, investor base. EXPERTS IN EXPANSION Founders see what the world misses. In fast pursuit of opportunity, you make critical decisions with little certainty. We get it, because we’ve been there. Frontline is the venture firm for globally ambitious B2B companies on both sides of the Atlantic. Frontline Seed speeds up ideas at inception across Europe. Frontline X is a growth-stage fund, for fast and frictionless US-Europe expansion. WE'VE LEARNED IT THE HARD WAY As a team of entrepreneurs, we have built many businesses, many ways. And as a venture fund, we’ve helped tens of founders and CEOs cross the pond. We’ve scaled too – with team members in Dublin, London and San Francisco. Today, our team, LPs and advisors represent senior leadership at many of the world’s most successful B2B companies (Think: Segment, Stripe, Looker, Linkedin, Airtable, Google and Workday – to name a few). Collectively, we can add value when founders need it most – at company defining moments. CAPITAL IS CHEAP Look around; the venture market is drowning in noise. Hundreds of funds and millions of blogposts – all claiming to “add value” left and right. We believe that capital is cheap, and we know that value-add is not made equal. Our focus is clear; we back challengers with global ambition, and we dedicate our time to helping them fly higher – faster. Our experience makes us knowledgeable. Our global network makes us unique. Want more detail or first-hand accounts? we are happy to introduce you to our founders. SYMBIOSIS In nature, the best things work together. We see the landscape ahead and can warn you of the risks, while you stay strong and focused on your goals. Indispensable; that’s how we see our relationship.

The investment partner for the globally ambitious Technology companies are becoming intertwined with the global economy more so than ever before. In our eyes, the most compelling founders build businesses through a broader world view.

We are building a craft out of technology investing Great technology businesses do not emerge overnight, and neither does technology investing that can withstand the test of time. We subscribe to the long-term pursuit of greatness as much as the founders who we partner with do. We specialize in augmenting the founder's vision Brilliant founders see the world through a unique lens of opportunity. We take pride in helping this vision become a global force reshaping our world. We measure our success by the value we add Every inevitable success story is authored by tenacity. We mirror the founder's unrelenting willpower by committing the full weight of our team and by accelerating growth through our unique set of expertise. We believe in doing better by doing good Environmental, Social, and Governance initiatives are pressing matters in every corner of our world. We look to partner with founders elevating the status quo not only as business leaders but also as mission driven ambassadors. We back founders building businesses that are truly differentiated across all markets Whether with universally loved products that superscale into many regions or with uniqe business models that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world, we believe in companies that ultimately define the global standard. We build conviction in early and venture stages through our local presence and intimate understanding of markets across North America, Europe, and Asia. As active partners, we help founders establish a definitive edge not just in their home market but also abroad.

Venture Capital should help solve the world’s most pressing problems. Here are our 6 commandments for selecting and supporting world-changing companies: ⁠Backing Tomorrow’s Giants: We specialize in early-stage investments, focusing on pre-seed and seed rounds with investments of up to $2 million. Our approach is concentrated and high conviction. We invest in a few select companies each year, with the belief that only a few stories will truly change industries. When they do, we go all in and double down because we know that extraordinary outcomes comes from deep focus. ⁠Build Something You’re Not Qualified to: We back the outliers, the ones who aren’t "qualified" to build what they’re building but do it anyway, and do it better than anyone else. These are the founders who move at an insane speed, learning faster than anyone thought possible. They don't just think outside the box: they burn the box down and reinvent what’s possible. Build in Europe, Scale in the US: The US is where technological risks and unproven models can be funded with the conviction they deserve. Europe has a strong edge in engineering talents and building deep-tech companies at a fraction of the capital required elsewhere. We help founders bridge both worlds. We Created a Media-led VC to Help you Scale: We are a media-driven, community-first venture firm, with over 1 million listeners across our platforms every month. We've also made the bold bet of assembling a group of over 200 Limited Partners who bring diverse expertise: from deep-tech entrepreneurs who have scaled billion-dollar factories, to CEOs of global corporations. This network is a resource that opens doors, makes introductions, and accelerates momentum. ⁠We Embrace the Chaos: We know what it takes to build something from the ground up. Our team is made up of former athletes, DJs, and entrepreneurs who’ve been through the highs and lows, and we bring that experience to every founder we back. We’ve lived through the hustle, the failure, and the comebacks. We Think Insanely Big, Just Like You: We don’t just want our founders to succeed, we want them to go all the way. We target companies that have the potential to be worth billions, and we push our founders to be just as bullish on their outcomes as we are. We dream big, and we want them to dream even bigger.
