Bossa Nova

What is Bossa Nova?

Bossa Nova is an investment fund that operates as a Venture Capital (VC) firm with a focus on supporting Brazilian B2B or B2B2C companies, particularly in the Internet and software sectors. The fund seeks to invest in companies that demonstrate exponential growth potential and have already been operational for at least six months.

Bossa Nova believes in fostering innovation in businesses that provide solutions which are pivotal to the advancement of the education industry as well as various business solutions. They engage with enterprises at different stages of development, offering specialized financial support that ranges from Pre-Seed, Seed, Early Stage, all the way to Series A funding rounds.

Their investment range delineates a minimum of $17,000 and caps at $88,000, with a sweet spot of around $53,000 indicating their preferred investment size. The fund, however, has a clear mandate to not invest in sectors such as B2C, ad tech, e-commerce, hardware, or companies that deal directly with government sectors. This focus allows them to allocate their resources and expertise to areas where they see the maximum potential for transformative growth and impact.

The cornerstone of Bossa Nova's investment thesis is to identify and enable innovators who can redefine the landscape of tech-enabled services in Brazil, ensuring their investment capital is channeled towards endeavors that align with their strategic objectives and industry expertise.
