B Venture Capital

B Venture Capital No Brasil, o ambiente que apoia startups ao longo do seu crescimento está complicado.

Brazil Venture Capital nasceu em 2016 através de profissionais de visão que apoiam startups brasileiras facilitando o crescimento de um melhor ecosistema para atingir o potencial máximo dos empreendedores brasileiros. As startups podem receber o primeiro apoio financeiro por investidores anjo e/ou aceleradores, mas depois, tem que saltar muito alto sozinhas para receber investimento por fundos de

venture capital. Brazil Venture Capital foca nessa fase crucial onde falta apoio mas quando se precisa deste apoio financeiro adequadamente. Nós trabalhamos junto com as equipes de startups, visitamos clientes potenciais para vender produtos, pensamos em estratégias de crescimento, montamos plano financeiro para as próximas rodadas de investimento, contratamos novos funcionários, mas ao contrário de outros investidores não ficamos em cima mandando fazer relatórios informativos.

ブラジル・ベンチャー・キャピタルは日本からブラジルのスタートアップ企業へ投資・支援すべく、2016年に創業しました。

ブラジル・ベンチャー・キャピタルはエンジェル投資家と一般ベンチャーキャピタルの間で漏れているフェーズのベンチャー企業にフォーカスし、適切な資金サポートとともに事業開拓に必要な支援を日々の業務から先々を考えた戦略的なものまで幅広く提供します。

We’re excited to share an important milestone from our portfolio company Pluggy, which has raised US$3.5 million in its Series A round, led by DGF, with participation from Y Combinator and B Venture Capital.

Pluggy is building the infrastructure connecting financial institutions with the software businesses already use every day, enabling a more integrated and interoperable financial ecosystem through Open Finance and embedded financial services.

Today, the company connects nearly 500,000 CNPJs and serves around 600 direct clients across ERPs, accounting systems, and financial platforms.

This new capital will support Pluggy’s next phase of growth, expanding the range of financial products embedded directly into the platforms businesses use in their daily operations.

At BVC, we’re proud to continue supporting Rogério Correa, Bruno Loiola, Gabriel Gantes, Victor Braga, and the entire Pluggy team as they build a more connected and efficient financial infrastructure in Brazil.

Congratulations to the Pluggy team and everyone involved in this new chapter! 👏

This month, BVC joined Pitch Reverso, an event organized by Startups at the Databricks office in São Paulo, where the traditional pitching dynamic was turned around: this time, six investment funds with open opportunities pitched to startups.

Representing BVC, Isabela Berdu presented our investment approach and shared more about what we look for in founders and companies. At BVC, we focus on early-stage startups across Latin America, looking for ambitious teams building scalable businesses and supporting them beyond capital throughout their growth journey.

Events like Pitch Reverso are a great opportunity to bring more transparency to the fundraising process, helping founders better understand how different investors think, what they look for, and which funds are the best fit for their journey.

Thank you to Startups, Databricks and Microsoft for bringing the ecosystem together and creating this space for founders and investors to connect from a different perspective.

“If the company isn’t growing, there’s no reason to raise from VC. You don’t even need to make the deck.”

This sharp takeaway from Marcelo Merichello, Analyst at DGF, highlights a reality founders often overlook: venture capital only makes sense when there is a clear engine and reason for growth.

In the latest Fala, VC! episode, Marcelo shares what DGF looks for in Series A companies and the mistakes that can make investors step away.

Here are the top 3 insights:

1️⃣ Don’t Raise Just Because You Can: “Raise when you know why you’re raising.” A company performing well doesn’t automatically need external capital. Founders should have a clear use of funds and raise while the operation is healthy, not when cash is already running out.

2️⃣ Raise What You Need, Not What You Can: “Fundraising is the art of doing as much as possible with as little as possible.” Oversized rounds can create unnecessary dilution, inflate valuations and make the next round harder. Capital should enter the company in stages that match its actual growth plan.

3️⃣ AI Has to Make Economic Sense: “You can’t kill an ant with a bazooka if the unit economics don’t work.” For Marcelo, adding AI isn’t enough. The real question is whether it creates measurable customer value while keeping the business scalable and economically sustainable.

Thank you, Marcelo, for such a practical conversation on fundraising, growth and what investors actually look for beyond the pitch.
