A Start Growth announces the opening of a new investment round aimed at startups seeking acceleration and scalability in their businesses. Applications are open until April 7th. In this round, R$15 million will be made available, distributed equally among five strategic segments: HRtechs, Fintechs, Edtechs, Database, and Martechs, with investments of up to R$3 million for each area.
In this new round, Start Growth seeks startups that have already validated their products in the market but face challenges in scaling their operations. The goal is to invest in committed and innovative entrepreneurs who need strategic support to overcome obstacles in areas such as marketing, sales, and financial management.
“We are looking for startups with innovative and scalable solutions, led by passionate entrepreneurs determined to transform the market. Our commitment is to provide not only capital but also expertise and operational support to accelerate the growth of these companies,” highlights Marilucia Silva Pertile, co-founder of Start Growth.
History of supporting startups
With the Start Growth Method, developed by the brand, the team led by Marilucia helps scalable businesses overcome challenges, especially the so-called ‘valley of death’—a critical phase where many startups fail due to lack of traction and capital.
The methodology combines capital, expertise, and operational support, providing not only financial investment but also strategic guidance to accelerate startup growth. “We dive into the day-to-day operations of these companies to help managers structure solid business models, strengthen their sales engines, and increase operational efficiency. The method has already helped at least 4 startups achieve profitable exits for their shareholders,” points out the founder.
Start Growth has an active portfolio of these startups, which have stood out in their respective markets. Among the success stories are
- LogSchool: Edtech that empowers companies and professionals with practical solutions for the real challenges of logistics operations.
- Customer Base: Fintech that developed a platform designed to manage recurring charges, facilitating management and improving customer relationships.
- Salvy: Specialized in the telecommunications sector, it offers an inventory management system that allows creating, managing, and having an overview of assets allocated by various employees and locations.
- SmartSave: A platform that facilitates automatic investment of a portion of each purchase, helping users save and invest effortlessly.
