Airborne Ventures

Airborne Ventures is a venture capital firm established in 2021 and headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. The firm is dedicated to helping companies achieve stable growth and avoid early failures by providing strategic insights, network-building, and valuable lessons learned. They actively seek out opportunities for productivity and financial innovation across various industry verticals, leveraging their team's extensive experience and connections.

The firm's investment journey began earlier, with initial investments in consumer marketplaces and D2C fintech in 2014-2015. After a period of recalibration, Airborne Ventures shifted its focus to SaaS, Health, Edtech, and Fintech between 2016 and 2018, supporting portfolio companies in securing subsequent funding rounds. From 2018 to 2022, the firm transitioned to institutional investing, leading offshore deals and deploying over R$650 million across more than 30 transactions. The current 'Airborne vision' fully materialized in 2023 with the launch of Fund I (Vintage 2021), which is now fully deployed.

Airborne Ventures targets companies with a live product, revenue, and a clear market fit, typically investing in Seed, Series A, or Series B rounds. Their portfolio showcases a diverse range of innovators, including companies in digital insurance (Pier, Azos), artificial intelligence (Maggu, Doutor AI, 4intelligence, Mantis, Skyone), health and wellness (EaseLabs, Beep, Conexa, Zenklub), open finance (Delend), tax solutions (Roit), logistics (Rabbot), water utility (Neowater), PJ digital (Asaas), marketing (Galaxies), credit (Jeitto), real estate (aMora), and customer experience (D1). The firm emphasizes a hands-on approach, acting as catalysts to help entrepreneurs scale faster and operate smarter.

The core team at Airborne Ventures includes Eduardo Küpper as Managing Partner, Vinicius Gracia as Tech Venture Partner, and Francesco Bloise as Investment Officer.
