• Caveo

  Participated · Series A · Dec 2025

  Founded in 2022, Caveo positions itself as a one-stop financial platform for physicians, providing a digital account, automated accounting, tax and financial management, and an AI assistant embedded in WhatsApp. The company already operates in 93% of Brazil’s medical schools and captured 8% of the country’s 2023 graduating physicians, 18% of the 2024 class, and is tracking toward roughly 40% of 2025 graduates. More seasoned doctors now represent 30% of new clients, reflecting Caveo’s move beyond early-career professionals. Roughly 95% of sales come via referrals and the startup reports an NPS close to 90 for the semester, underscoring strong user satisfaction and stickiness. Community features such as networking, educational tracks and practical job-placement support further deepen engagement and drive product adoption. Management sees Brazil’s ongoing medical workforce expansion—projected to exceed one million practitioners by 2035—as a key growth catalyst, given that over 70% of doctors still feel insecure about accounting and tax matters. With fresh capital, Caveo intends to broaden its feature set and cement itself as a lifelong financial partner for physicians.
