Investor Profile: Redpoint eventures — Thesis, Cheque Size & How to Apply

Latin American founders asking how to get funding from Redpoint eventures are looking at one of Brazil's foundational early-stage funds. Founded in 2012 in São Paulo, the firm is built on a partnership with two Silicon Valley firms — e.ventures and Redpoint Ventures — and invests across seed, early and growth stages in Latin American startups. It manages over $300 million and counts more than 40 companies in its portfolio.

Investment thesis

The firm's thesis: partner with visionary founders using technology to create new markets and solve big problems in existing ones, bringing Silicon Valley access, talent and global best practices to Brazilian startups. Described as "the first Silicon Valley fund on the ground in Brazil," it helps founders secure the capital, talent and growth to succeed further, faster.

Sectors and stages for Redpoint eventures funding

Sector focus spans software, fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, healthtech and information technology. Stages: seed, early and growth. Geography is Latin America, primarily Brazil, where the firm is headquartered in São Paulo. Its track record covers rounds from a few hundred thousand dollars at seed to tens of millions of dollars at growth stage.

Fund size and cheque size

The firm states it manages over $300 million across its funds (including Redpoint eventures 1 and 2). Standard individual cheque sizes are not publicly disclosed — founders should expect ticket size to be sized to stage and ownership targets in conversation with the team.

Notable portfolio companies

The portfolio includes some of Brazil's defining tech companies: Creditas (fintech lending), Gympass (corporate wellness marketplace; backed alongside Atomico and Valor Capital Group), Minuto Seguros (insurance), Olist (e-commerce enablement), Pipefy (workflow automation), Rappi (delivery super-app) and Resultados Digitais (marketing automation). The firm's own portfolio page also showcases newer fund-2 names such as Gesto (AI-driven health-insurance brokerage) and eureciclo (reverse-logistics recycling — an ESG play).

Partners

Rather than individual star partners, the firm's differentiator is its partnership structure: an experienced team in Brazil working in close partnership with Silicon Valley's Redpoint Ventures — backing companies like Snowflake, Stripe and Twilio since 1999, with $7.2 billion managed — and e.ventures. Individual partner names were not verified from the sources read, so this profile focuses on the institutional partnership founders actually get access to.

Programs run

As part of its mission to support the Brazilian ecosystem, the firm co-founded Cubo (cubo.network) — described as the second-largest innovation hub in the world, based in São Paulo — a flagship contribution to the Brazilian startup ecosystem beyond direct investing.

How to apply for funding

Founders can approach the firm via rpev.com.br, which lists the portfolio and contact routes. Given the firm's positioning, warm introductions through portfolio founders, the Cubo network or the broader Brazilian ecosystem are the strongest way in. Lead with technology-led differentiation and the size of the Latin American market opportunity your company can capture.
