about us
We are a Venture Capital specialized in Fintech
From founders to founders

Honey Island was founded in 2015 by EBANX co-founders João Del Valle, Alphonse Voigt, Wagner Ruiz and Antonio Maganhotte. Initially, investments were made with proprietary capital in the angel stage.

At the end of 2018, led by Mariana Foresti, who brought her experience in networking and supporting Endeavor entrepreneurs, Honey Island raised a second investment vehicle focusing on investing in 10 startups in the pre-seed stage. At this moment Antonio Dias, who played a significant role in supporting EBANX founders in their growth trajectory also joined as a partner.

In 2021, Leonardo Jianoti joined as a Managing Partner and the firm launched, in partnership with 4UM Investments, its first institutional investment fund. Honey Island by 4UM, is currently in the process of investing in about 15 fintechs and SaaS B2B startups at pre-seed and seed stages.

How we invest
We seek to create connections that impact the future of the company.

Honey Island’s investment strategy is based on the practical experience of our partners, selecting the best companies within the sectors in which we believe we can contribute.

We understand that the process of raising investment can be constructive for both sides, helping in the elaboration of the business plan and exploring new business perspectives.

After the investment, our mission is to support the portfolio companies in their main challenges and support the entrepreneurs’ hardest decisions.

Our areas of focus are:
Qualified Connections.
Business development.
Fundraising for the next stage.
Present your startup or nominate entrepreneurs we should meet!

Any questions?

We invest in pre-seed and seed rounds, with checks ranging from R$1 million to R$5 million. We can co-invest with other funds in rounds of up to R$20 million.

We focus on having an agile and transparent investment process. Therefore, after applying your startup, our team analyzes 100% of the companies that contact us and we select the ones with the best fit for an initial meeting. This is followed by 2-3 conversations to discuss specific startup topics, such as technology and growth strategies. Finally, all our investments go through the investment committee. If approved, we negotiate the contract and due diligence.

We currently only invest in fintechs and companies with a Saas B2B model.

You can apply for the investment process in this link ( https://16e1a5lmwz8.typeform.com/to/dgcFByIF ). We will then analyze the information and get back to you with the next steps by email.

We work very closely with our portfolio, but we respect the entrepreneurs leadership. We rely on a network of investors and mentors who are committed to helping the portfolio companies, as well as supporting the decision-making process and the growth challenges.
