Investor Profile: DOMO Invest — Thesis, Cheque Size & How to Apply

DOMO Invest, now branded DOMO.VC, is a Brazilian venture capital firm that backs early stage technology startups across Latin America. Its founding partners set out to turn their own experience as founders and early investors into a platform for the next generation of Brazilian entrepreneurs. For founders exploring DOMO Invest funding, here is its thesis, portfolio, team track record and how to approach the firm.

Thesis

DOMO Invest describes itself on its official site as a Brazilian venture capital firm investing in technology startups across Latin America, with a particular focus on disruptive and innovative founders. It supports early stage startups, helping them grow and establish themselves in competitive markets. The founding idea was straightforward: partners who had built and backed companies themselves wanted to contribute to the regional tech ecosystem, rather than simply deploy capital.

Sectors and stages

DOMO Invest invests at pre-seed and seed stage, with some activity extending into early Series A rounds. Its focus is technology broadly defined, with emphasis on software, information technology and financial services, alongside e-commerce, proptech, gaming and other technology enabled sectors in Brazil. It is centred on Brazil, with activity also touching the United States and the United Kingdom.

Fund size and cheque size

A current fund size is not publicly disclosed on DOMO Invest's official site, so founders should treat it as not publicly disclosed. Third party fund data reports a $24 million fund raised in 2021, and an earlier fund archive lists a minimum cheque of $10,000 and a maximum cheque of $1 million for its 2017 vintage. Those figures are vintage specific and should not be taken as the terms of a live fund, so exact cheque size must be confirmed with the team.

Notable portfolio

The team's track record is the strongest signal here. DOMO Invest's partners founded companies such as Buscapé in Brazil and were among the early investors in well known startups such as Loggi, Gympass, Hotmart, Descomplica and Quero Educação, according to the firm's own site. More recent fund portfolio highlights reported by third party data include video calling platform NuVidio and fan engagement platform FanBase.

Partners and team

DOMO Invest's team is described on its official site as multidisciplinary, supported by an advisory board with a track record in creating, investing in, advising and financing technology startups of all sizes. Its partners have thrived as entrepreneurs, and the firm stresses more than 20 years of combined experience in founding, investing and advising technology startups.

Programs, credits and perks

DOMO Invest does not publish a standalone accelerator, credits programme or perks catalogue on its official site. Its support model is the platform itself: early stage guidance from partners and advisors, help establishing the company in competitive markets, and introductions drawn from a network built over two decades in Brazilian technology.

How to apply for funding from DOMO Invest

DOMO Invest does not publish a verified open application portal, so founders should approach the firm only through its official site at domoinvest.com.br and its published contact route there. Keep the first message short: what the product does, who pays for it, what traction exists, and what the seed round will prove.
