We invest with the discipline of those who have structured successful businesses for more than twenty years.

Axis is an investment holding company based in Rio de Janeiro, with stakes in technology companies, growing businesses and real estate. Its partners bring two decades of experience to each deal: building the right structure, negotiating and seeing the transaction through. Venture investments carry high risk and the potential for substantial returns; Axis balances exposure across sectors, projects and portfolio companies. Navigating Rio’s waves, Axis and its affiliates now focus their attention on technology and artificial intelligence.

Investment Theses and Approach

  1. 01

    Venture Capital and Technology

    Thesis. Artificial intelligence will reshape sectors Axis knows well. That experience informs our choice of companies to back.

    Approach. Capital and strategic assets for early-stage companies, with follow-on investments in later rounds and, where appropriate, the role of first customer. These investments carry high risk and the potential for substantial returns; exposure is managed within the portfolio.
