DZB Invest exists to accelerate technology startups: we invest proprietary capital, structure fundraises and prepare companies to operate and negotiate on a global scale.
Founded in 2021 in Florianópolis, DZB Invest works with early-stage founders — from pre-seed to seed — combining proprietary capital with the work that comes after the check: round management, corporate structuring in Brazil and abroad, and preparation for the next stages, including the exit.
Our model reduces friction for founders: we set up the structures and manage the fundraise with no upfront costs — compensation comes with the round. The founder focuses on the business; we take care of the path to capital.
We operate throughout Brazil and abroad, with structures in Delaware and Cayman, and we are part of inovabra habitat, Bradesco's innovation ecosystem, alongside a network of investors and corporates.
Specialist in fundraising strategy and investment thesis building. Defines with the founder how much to raise, from whom and with what narrative — and leads the round to closing.
Specialist in operations of technology companies that support large rounds. Prepares the startup for due diligence: processes, numbers and governance ready for the investor.
Specialist in legal structuring, investment agreements and flips. Designs the corporate structure in Brazil and abroad and leads the round's agreements.
