Canary
Brazilian seed fund investing in early-stage technology companies across Latin America.
Canary is solid but not spectacular - they're the safe choice for Brazilian B2B startups who want competent investors without drama. The team knows their stuff operationally and won't waste your time, but don't expect them to open Silicon Valley doors or lead your Series B. They're particularly strong on unit economics and scaling playbooks, which is great if you need that discipline, less great if you're still figuring out product-market fit. Word is they're supportive but not warm and fuzzy - expect regular check-ins about your numbers.
- —Best for: Brazilian B2B SaaS needing operational discipline and local market expertise
- —Watch out for: Limited network outside LatAm, can be metrics-obsessed early on
- —Known for: Thorough due diligence and hands-on go-to-market support
