Half of them were founded in 2013 or later. The most common headquarters are São Paulo (33), Rio de Janeiro (6) and Curitiba (4).

The venture capital and private equity firms in Brazil listed here are a mix of established companies and younger organizations.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 13, 2026.
