Kinase

Headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Kinase concentrates its investment activity on the Brazilian market, with particular emphasis on the Minas Gerais-São Paulo industrial corridor. Operating outside the São Paulo financial center gives the firm proximity to deal flow in Minas Gerais's technology, agribusiness, and manufacturing sectors that larger Faria Lima-based funds often overlook. This single-office, single-country focus is unusual among Brazilian firms, many of which spread across multiple Latin American markets.

Kinase has publicly indicated its willingness to pursue complex situations including restructurings, succession-driven transitions, and distressed carve-outs. These transactions require operational engagement and flexible structuring beyond standard minority growth capital, and the firm views this capability as a core element of its multi-strategy mandate.
