Raio Capital

Raio Capital is a venture capital firm based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, founded in 2021. It invests at the early stage in technology-enabled companies that raise efficiency in fundamental value chains - businesses that remove friction from transactions and interactions, enable new business models and improve customer satisfaction. The firm seeks companies capable of disproportionate returns through competitive advantage.

The portfolio stands at 23 investments and three exits. Sector focus is on technology-enabled businesses applied to core value chains, with an emphasis on enabling rather than displacing existing market structures.

The firm describes its team as deliberately cross-disciplinary, and treats this as a competitive edge in evaluating early-stage opportunities. Stated working values include diligence, preparation, respect, curiosity, creativity and directness, alongside an output-focused, action-oriented approach. Raio Capital works with early companies it assesses as having extraordinary potential.
