About

We invest in resourceful and daring founders with unique visions, operating cultures and IPs who are aiming to build decacorns by tackling global white spaces. The best way to connect with us is by finding a warm introduction to one of the partners or our investment team members.

SECTOR

We follow innovative founders who build for the future. We have an affinity for original business models that resonate with us and can scale rapidly while remaining capital efficient.

STAGE

We lead Seed to Series A rounds where we aim for an initial ownership of 20%. Our investment amount can range anywhere between $500,000 to $5M, depending on the stage of the deal and how much Product Market Fit is demonstrated.

GEOGRAPHY

We invest primarily in founders and/or engineering teams that are based in the GCC, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon. We opportunistically invest in early-stage start-ups that aren’t necessarily based in our region, but to which we can add value through our vast regional and global network.

OUR VALUE ADD

We view ourselves as lieutenants in an army led by our founders. We are there when they need us, and on the sidelines when they don’t – during both the good and tough times. We champion our founders to make sure they are able to focus on the health of their company and team. We look to create transformational value for our portfolio companies through:

  • Fundraising: this includes helping with fundraising through our dedicated team to assist in raising growth capital from our network of global top tier investors.
  • Network + Talent: accessing key decision makers, including regulators where necessary, helping with business development and helping recruit for crucial roles.
  • Data: through leveraging our in-house data analytics engines, we provide our portfolio companies with ongoing analytics insights focused on the quality of product market fit.

MSW Capital

MSW is a venture capital firm focused on seed and Series A investment rounds. We invest in companies with a dedicated team, an existing product/solution, and a clear vision of their future. What we do BR Startups, managed by MSW, was the first Brazilian fund to onboard as investors corporations aiming to enhance the local entrepreneurship ecosystem and foster innovation.‍ We manage multicorp funds, formed by organizations willing to launch or strengthen their corporate innovation programs and work alongside startups. By doing so established corporations can use venture capital to accelerate their innovation efforts, shape corporate strategy, and obtain both strategic and financial returns. Our history In 2000, Prof. Moises Swirski founded MSW Educação e Consultoria, a valuation and financial modelling advisory boutique. Three years later MSW started to offer leadership development courses for corporate clients. In 2008, MSW started to advise on M&A and business development projects. With this approach MSW starts to collaborate with its clients’ businesses and strategic planning.‍ After many years supporting entrepreneurs in their daily challenges, MSW decided to establish its role as an asset management firm. As such, the firm started to act as a minority hands-on investor. As of 2015, MSW starts to manage seed capital fund BR Startups and develops its pioneering fund management approach in Brazil, transferring smart capital from its investing organizations to portfolio companies. As a result, MSW delivers mutually beneficial relationships between startups and corporations. Why we do itWe believe in Brazil’s creative and entrepreneurial strength as well as technology’s role as a key part of economic development and wealth generation. We understand that great leaders make the difference in any company’s performance. We understand that technology-induced disruptions in careers, markets, and management methods offer a broad range of business opportunities. We admire organizations that are committed to contributing to corporate venturing and developing the local entrepreneurship ecosystem. We want to be the leading Brazilian firm in multi-corporate venture capital and transform Brazil into a global corporate venturing hub. What we look for We invest in tech-based companies from various market sectors with exponential growth potential and an innovative product/solution. We believe in complementary teams led by bold founders with remarkable expertise with regards to their markets. We look for entrepreneurs aiming to build great companies, but also those committed to delivering long-term value to their communities through technological innovation. How we do it MSW strives to deliver mutually beneficial and trustworthy relationships between corporations and startups. We share with our portfolio companies both our firm’s and our investors’ experience and resources, including network, credibility, industry expertise, financial and technical advice, as well as business plan development and monitoring. VC is a people business. Therefore, we value leaders who carry out their business and ethical and transparent long-term relationships with our entrepreneurs and investors.
