Our thesis
We invest tickets of up to R$ 30 million through stakes in "growth stage" startups. In addition to capital investment, our value proposition also involves boosting the startup through business development, whether by solving an internal Vivo pain point to improve the company's efficiency or as a business partner, contributing to revenue generation.
