A Start Growth announces the opening of a new investment round aimed at startups seeking acceleration and scalability in their businesses. Registrations are open until April 7th. In this round, R$15 million will be available, equally distributed 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 is looking for startups that have already validated their products in the market but face challenges to scale 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 and determined entrepreneurs who are committed to transforming 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 beyond financial investment, strategic guidance to accelerate the growth of startups. “We get involved in the day-to-day operations of these companies to assist managers in structuring solid business models, strengthening their sales machines, and increasing 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.
- Base de Clientes: 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 the creation, management, and 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.
