Investment portfolio

  • Capa

    Participated · Seed · Jul 2026

    Capa builds infrastructure to simplify buying, selling, and moving crypto in Latin America by enabling instant on- and off-ramps, reducing payment and conversion friction, and connecting multiple networks and protocols. The company is operating in Mexico and the Dominican Republic and intends to expand to additional priority LATAM markets. Following its $2.5M pre-seed raise (including a $1M extension), Capa plans to optimize its infrastructure for speed and security, integrate more blockchains and tokens, and strengthen strategic partnerships. Its strategy emphasizes user experience as the key driver of mass adoption in countries with currency volatility and limited traditional financial access. The company did not disclose revenue, users, or valuation in the announcement.

  • Jota

    Participated · Series A · Jun 2026

    Jota provides a conversational assistant that helps entrepreneurs manage finances by understanding text, audio and photos within WhatsApp and its own app. The product automates categorization of expenses, controls payments, records receivables, issues reminders, and produces proactive financial insights. With the launch of Jota 2.0 the company moved from a reactive responder to an agent that anticipates needs, reporting engagement up to five times that of the prior version in tests. Since its seed round the company has grown to about 300,000 customers and approximately R$3.5 billion in annualized transacted volume. Jota plans to use proceeds from its Series A to accelerate AI infrastructure development and expand assistant functionalities, including studying contextual credit offerings at the moment customers need liquidity. The company emphasizes serving entrepreneurs who manage finances conversationally rather than through spreadsheets or separate banking apps.

  • OnSite

    Led · Seed · Apr 2026

    OnSite develops an AI-powered communication platform that consolidates messaging, voice notes, images and other on-site data into organized, searchable project records that can serve as audit trails. The company aims to address fragmented communication and information loss in construction, which it says costs Singapore’s sector more than S$1.1 billion annually and sits within an industry valued at up to S$53 billion. OnSite is in beta with partners in Singapore and Hong Kong and expects to exit beta later in 2026. Planned product features include AI-driven assistants, project analysis tools, predictive risk assessments, and integrations with third-party software. Financially, OnSite recently raised S$1.7 million (US$1.3 million) in a seed round to expand its engineering team and speed product development.

  • Flextock

    Participated · Series A · Feb 2026

    Flextock is an Egypt-founded startup building what it calls an “operating system” for e-commerce across Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Its single platform lets online merchants manage warehousing, fulfilment, last-mile delivery aggregation, cross-border shipping, multi-channel sales access and working-capital financing. By unifying these typically fragmented services, the company aims to eliminate service gaps, improve visibility and boost operational efficiency for small and mid-sized merchants. The embedded finance module leverages logistics data to underwrite and collect repayments, turning fulfilment volumes into a credit-distribution advantage. Management believes the modular suite can increase revenue per customer as merchants adopt additional features over time. Proceeds from the latest round will fund expansion of operational infrastructure, enhancement of the end-to-end product suite and accelerated merchant acquisition in its core markets. No public operating metrics such as revenue or user counts were disclosed in the article.

  • FlyMedia

    Participated · Equity · Dec 2025

    FlyMedia develops, licenses and manages influencers that are entirely generated by artificial intelligence, treating each character as a scalable intellectual property from day one. Led by NG.Cash co-founder Victor Trindade, the company aims to build deep, enduring narrative universes rather than disposable social-media content. All characters are conceived to launch simultaneously in several languages and formats, positioning FlyMedia as a next-generation media company. The startup views this model as an evolution beyond the creator economy, enabling automated, data-driven operations at global scale. FlyMedia has secured an initial R$20 million capital injection, but no revenue or user metrics have yet been disclosed. Proceeds will fund the development of its first AI influencers, narrative worlds and cross-platform digital brands. Long-time collaborators from NG.Cash, including Mario Augusto (co-founder) and investors Antônio Nakad and Petrus Arruda, are involved in the venture, reinforcing strategic synergies.
