Fabrica Ventures

Co-founders Alvaro Filpo and Adriano Bassetto lead the firm from Palo Alto and São Paulo. The investment committee — a group of investors and operators that includes André Shinohara, Tania Cosentino, and Mauro Mello — must approve each deal. The committee invests its own capital alongside the deals it approves.

Fabrica sources late-stage US B2B technology companies through the co-founders' Silicon Valley presence and the operating networks of its investment committee, many of whom are senior executives and entrepreneurs in Brazil. The firm does not disclose a proprietary sourcing model beyond this dual geography and professional network.

Fabrica Ventures is an asset manager, not a single family office. It operates more like a curated syndicate than a traditional venture firm, raising capital on a deal-by-deal basis through club deals rather than a committed blind-pool fund structure.

Fabrica structures investments as club deals, giving co-investors direct exposure to individual late-stage US technology companies. There is no indication the firm commits capital to third-party venture funds.

The firm focuses exclusively on late-stage venture, which it considers the least risky segment within venture capital, and targets B2B companies it describes as having high revenue density relative to capital raised. It does not participate in seed or early-stage rounds.

Co-founders Alvaro Filpo and Adriano Bassetto both have roots at K2 Achievements, the Brazilian management consulting firm Filpo co-founded. Several members of Fabrica's investment committee are also former K2 partners. K2 developed a track record of direct investments, including Atrium Telecom, before the co-founders formalized their US venture activity under Fabrica.

Fabrica does not publicly disclose assets under management or aggregate deployment figures. The firm raises capital per deal through its club-deal structure, so total capital deployed varies with deal flow.
