Paymig
Guilherme Stocco Filho's Paymig invests personal capital from the RedePay exit into Brazilian fintech, real estate, and agribusiness.
Paymig
Paymig was formed following the 2020 acquisition of RedePay, the payment processing company Stocco Filho built, by Rede, a subsidiary of Itaú Unibanco. The exit generated liquidity that became the capital base for a single-family office with no external LPs and no obligation to market itself. Stocco Filho remains the sole investment decision-maker, operating from Brazil. The office allocates capital primarily through direct equity stakes in privately held Brazilian operating companies. Observed activity spans payments infrastructure — a domain where Stocco Filho retains technical and commercial fluency — alongside real estate, digital health, and agricultural technology. Investment structures favor common equity and convertible instruments, with no evidence of a fund-of-funds program. The footprint is domestic; confirmed holdings remain closely held and are not publicly listed. Stocco Filho maintains a low public profile. Paymig has no proprietary fund vehicles, no LinkedIn presence, and no disclosed AUM. The office does not maintain a regulatory filing footprint that would require public disclosure of its total portfolio. Operating from a single principal, the team size is presumed to be lean, supported by an investment staff and external counsel rather than a multi-tiered partnership. Paymig's structure eliminates the governance tension between a family office's long-duration capital and the quarterly reporting cycles of institutional allocators. Stocco Filho deploys his own balance sheet into Brazilian middle-market companies that require a partner fluent in payments infrastructure, regulatory licensing, and the local banking ecosystem — precisely the expertise his earlier operating career furnished.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Paymig?
Guilherme Stocco Filho, the founder and sole principal, runs investment decisions. He built and sold RedePay, a Brazilian payment processing company, to Rede (Itaú Unibanco) in 2020. The office does not have external partners or an investment committee beyond Stocco Filho himself.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The wealth originates from the 2020 sale of RedePay to Rede, a payments subsidiary of Itaú Unibanco, one of Brazil's largest private banks. Stocco Filho was the founder and controlling shareholder of RedePay. The exit generated the liquidity that now funds Paymig's investments.
Is Paymig structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Paymig is a single-family office. It does not manage outside capital or operate a fund structure. It deploys Stocco Filho's personal balance sheet without limited partners, fund cycles, or a mandate to return capital to external investors.
Does Paymig participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Paymig primarily makes direct equity investments. There is no record of the office participating as a limited partner in third-party funds or engaging in fund-of-funds allocations. The office favors direct operating stakes where Stocco Filho's payments-industry expertise can inform underwriting.
What investment stages does Paymig typically target?
Paymig targets growth-stage and mature private companies in Brazil. The office does not publicly document a formal stage mandate, but the payments-industry background of the principal suggests a preference for businesses with existing revenue and regulatory standing rather than pre-revenue startups.
