Carthona Capital

About

Carthona Capital was founded in 2014 when a group of like minded venture investors came together to invest on a deal-by-deal basis.

Since then, Carthona Capital has shifted to a more traditional venture capital fund structure, and is now deploying its third fund with approximately $400m in funds under management from a mix of Institutional (Superannuation), Family Office and High Net-worth investors.

Our Approach

At Carthona we like to invest very early - our initial investment into a business is usually at the Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A stages.

We then like to follow-on strongly and continue to deploy larger amounts of capital as the business matures - in one instance we have supported a business by participating in seven different independent financing rounds.

We are highly thematic in the opportunities we look to invest in.

We are extremely hands-on with our portfolio companies.

Crosser Capital

O Brasil é um país que enfrenta desafios por conta do seu subdesenvolvimento estrutural e, por isso, possui oportunidades de expansão geográfica para empresas e projetos que desejam mudar essa realidade. Atualmente, existe uma concentração de mercado fornecedor habilitado para atendimentos complexos a grandes corporações, o que faz com que poucos players dominem grande parte do mercado, algo que entendemos que precisa ser alterado. Não buscamos apenas empreendedores e projetos com potencial de resultados financeiros, mas sim aqueles que querem transformar e melhorar a realidade do país, contribuindo para o seu desenvolvimento e seu crescimento de forma sustentável e equilibrada. O que nos faz diferentes Para acelerar o crescimento e maximizar o retorno das empresas investidas, é essencial adotar uma estratégia que não apenas agilize a implementação de processos, mas também minimize os custos relacionados às estruturas de suporte necessárias para a operação do negócio Por isso, possuímos um Centro de Serviços Compartilhados (CSC) desenvolvido estrategicamente para atender nossas investidas, oferecendo serviços de múltiplas áreas de backoffice e operação para apoiar as empresas no seu dia a dia, tanto em termos de planejamento quanto de operação. Entenda nossa cultura de investimentos Possuímos uma metodologia única de atuação no mercado, contando com um horizonte de investimento flexível e focando no desenvolvimento da autonomia operacional de cada investida Horizonte de investimento: Nosso horizonte de investimento é flexível, permitindo que as empresas investidas permaneçam no portfólio por tempo indeterminado, de acordo com nossa avaliação de seu potencial de crescimento e a plena absorção do conhecimento disponível por meio do nosso CSC. Autonomia Operacional: As empresas investidas têm acesso ao CSC por tempo indeterminado. No entanto, ao longo de toda a jornada com a Crosser Capital, elas são preparadas para a transição gradual e estruturada de desvinculação do CSC. Isso assegura a absorção de todo o conhecimento necessário para que suas operações sejam conduzidas de forma totalmente autônoma.
