Openmerc

Openmerc administers the investment portfolio of Pedro de Godoy Bueno, whose father, Edson de Godoy Bueno, founded Diagnósticos da América (DASA) and transformed it into Brazil's largest integrated medical diagnostics network. The São Paulo-based family office was formed to steward and diversify the capital generated when the Bueno family sold a controlling stake in DASA — a transaction that cemented their position among the wealthiest families in Brazil. Openmerc deploys capital across a broad mandate spanning real estate, private credit, and direct equity. The office invests in Brazilian commercial and residential property, participates in structured credit opportunities originating from the middle market, and backs venture-stage enterprise software companies through both direct positions and local VC fund commitments. The geographic focus centers on Brazil, with selective exposure to US-based technology ventures. The firm operates with a lean team of investment professionals working directly alongside the principal. While specific deployment figures are not publicly disclosed, Openmerc functions as the primary investment engine for the Godoy Bueno family's liquid assets, separate from any residual ownership in DASA's operating business. The Godoy Bueno family's structural differentiator lies in its operator DNA — transitioning from controlling shareholders of a publicly traded healthcare company to allocators managing a diversified family portfolio. This history gives Openmerc a healthcare-sector fluency uncommon among Brazilian single-family offices, even as the firm deliberately invests outside the space to reduce concentration.
