Brendi provides a paid platform that lets restaurants receive and dispatch orders over WhatsApp via text or audio, integrates digital menus and in-chat payments, and supports restaurants’ logistics by integrating with third-party couriers or in-house delivery. Founded in 2020 in São José dos Campos and pivoted to restaurant marketing in 2021, the company expanded its product after 2023 developments in large language models to automate conversational ordering. Today Brendi serves 7,100 establishments across roughly 1,300 Brazilian cities, with 85% of its base in municipalities under 800,000 inhabitants and weekly processed orders rising from 140,000 to 420,000 over the past 12 months. The company reports an ARR of nearly $5 million, projects $8–9 million in ARR by year-end, and targets $20 million ARR and 20,000 restaurant clients by end of 2027. Brendi’s gross margin exceeds 40% and its cash burn is about R$800,000 per month, and management plans to use the recent funding to accelerate growth and restaurant acquisition.

Elevify organizes existing online content—videos, podcasts, books—into structured courses that combine video, audio, text and infographics, offering a free tier and a premium plan (R$84.90 per course in Brazil). The platform runs as an MVP and already lists roughly 30,000 courses per country with a target of 50,000 by August. Elevify has rapidly scaled internationally: it launched in January 2026 across 140 countries and 40 languages, and the U.S. is now its second-largest market after Brazil. User growth accelerated from 5,000 new students per month in January 2025 to 40,000 in July 2025 and 220,000 in March 2026; monthly revenue rose from $15k in July 2025 to $120k in March 2026, reaching breakeven that month. The company plans to expand into B2B and competitive exam preparatory courses, increase its headcount (aiming for about 15 people) and continue product development. Cofounded by Rangel Barbosa (CEO) and Cesar Silva, the team aims to scale to millions of users while keeping an intentionally small core team.

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.
