Partnering since the beginning with the next generation of Brazilian tech entrepreneurs to turn early-stage startups into thriving companies
Who We Are
Just as the entry point is where a computer program's execution begins, Entrypoint is where your journey in venture capital starts.
We partner with entrepreneurs from the very beginning, and we're obsessed with helping them navigate the journey from early product versions to a business getting ready to scale as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
We invest in pre-seed companies with a typical investment range between $50,000 to $150,000. We look for companies that have a functioning minimum viable product as well as their initial clients or PoCs.
What we believe
Supporting since day zero
class Entrypoint (self, support=true, control=false, start_day=0):
We know how challenging it can be to begin your entrepreneurial journey, which is why we commit to supporting founders from the very start. That means we’ll help you understand your initial Ideal Customer Profile, map out your value chain, create early product versions, develop your go-to-market and business model strategies, connect you with potential clients, and, of course, prepare for your next funding round. At the same time, we do all of this in a non-invasive way, trusting the founders and enabling fast decision-making and quick pivots when needed.
Like the entrepreneurs we partner with, we make decisions quickly and don't believe in a "spray and pray" approach. Instead, we dedicate a larger share of our time and resources to directly supporting the portfolio companies in which we invest.
Solving real problems with technology
def solving_problem(real=True, tech=High):
New technologies open up exciting new opportunities, and addressing real problems alongside these innovations is what will enable your company to grow fast and sustainably over the long term. Testing the latest shiny new technology is cool, but great founders leverage emerging technologies alongside a clear vision for the future and a relentless focus on solving genuine customer pain points. This is what differentiates good companies from truly great ones.
At Entrypoint, we partner with founders who understand the power of blending technological innovation with a deep understanding of their target market's needs. We believe this is the formula for building businesses that don't just grow quickly, but grow in a lasting, meaningful way.
Great teams are typically composed of individuals who deeply understand the problem they aim to solve and possess a knack for execution and rapid development. In the early stages, a small group of exceptional people can achieve far more than many expect. A lean team promotes capital efficiency and compels you to prioritize what truly matters, while decision-making becomes faster and less stressful.
At Entrypoint, we believe that in the beginning, the focus should be on assembling a core team with these characteristics and iterating as fast as possible on the problem understanding and the solution being created and only when you have established a strong user engagement with your solution, that's the time to scale rapidly. Explore, deliver, scale.
Passion for solving real problems, unstoppable execution
At Entrypoint, we partner with curious, execution-driven founders who possess a nonconformist vision, deep domain expertise, and strong technical skills. These are the hallmarks of the entrepreneurs we believe can build truly transformative companies.
