SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURS
STAGES WHERE WE ENGAGE
We typically invest in one or two units (our maximum) in the best Search Funds in Brazil and around the world. We engage from the very first contact through the formation of the Fund, fostering connections and sharing experiences and lessons learned that can contribute to this crucial stage of the journey.
We hold structured meetings with our invested searchers to listen to them, follow their progress and share perspectives on the pipeline of businesses they have been exploring.
We bring insights, questions, recommendations and points of view that can support searchers in their decision-making as they choose the company they will soon acquire.
We support the searcher from identifying a fair acquisition price, an appropriate capital structure and pre-due diligence through to key points regarding future governance, among others.
Once the searcher steps into the CEO role, we provide support by bringing experience and connections with valuable partners, helping the new executive adapt to the roles and responsibilities that all of the company's stakeholders will assign to them in the years ahead.
We provide the searcher with support in strategy, operations, finance and other areas so they can lead the company toward its previously defined goals.
As board members, we value closeness and interaction, maintained through continuous alignment, so that there is no excessive interference, but rather the value creation that everyone wants and expects.
At this very important moment of the journey, we can support the CEO by sharing opinions and experiences that help them carry out their exit, taking into account years of dedicated work, their full interest and return expectations aligned with the Search Fund model.
