Redpoint eventures

Investment decisions are led by the managing partners — Anderson Thees, Manoel Lemos, and Romero Rodrigues — alongside U.S.-based Partners Jeff Brody and Mathias Schilling. Thees set the firm’s strategy after founding it as the first Brazilian fund structurally linked to Silicon Valley’s Redpoint Ventures and e.ventures. Rodrigues brings operator experience from scaling Buscapé to a $374 million exit, while Lemos contributes digital product expertise from WebCo.

The firm sources through a combination of deep local networks and cross-border referrals from its Silicon Valley partnership. Anderson Thees’s board role at Endeavor and his fellowship in Brazil’s startup mentor network give the firm early in-person access to founders across São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, and Florianópolis. The Redpoint and e.ventures relationships provide a pipeline into U.S. and European markets, which produced co-investments like Holberton School and PSafe.

Redpoint eventures is structured as a private equity firm managing blind-pool venture funds, not a family office. The firm operates two known fund vintages and reports to institutional limited partners, though specific LP names are not publicly disclosed. Its governance includes both local managing partners and active U.S.-based Partners, which mirrors a multi-national venture franchise rather than a single-family allocation vehicle.

The firm executes primarily direct equity investments into early-stage companies, typically leading or co-leading seed and Series A rounds. Public portfolio data shows direct positions in dozens of startups with no indication of a fund-of-funds program. It frequently co-invests alongside domestic and international venture firms, including Kaszek, Valor Capital Group, and Monashees.

Redpoint eventures focuses on early-stage venture, covering seed, start-up, and early-stage investments. The portfolio includes seed rounds for companies like Beone and PayGo alongside Series A positions in Gympass, Rappi, and Creditas. The firm’s two fund vintages maintain consistent stage exposure, with Redpoint eventures 2 tilted toward seed and the first fund capturing more late-seed to early-A checks.

The firm was established as a joint venture between the U.S.-based Redpoint Ventures and the global venture platform e.ventures. Partners Jeff Brody (Redpoint) and Mathias Schilling (e.ventures) serve as investing partners and sit on the fund’s investment committee. This structure creates a co-branded Latin American franchise that shares deal flow, brand equity, and limited partner relationships with its U.S. and European counterparts.

The firm does not publish a formal exclusion list. Observed portfolio data shows no exposure to deep tech or hardware, biotech, defense, or heavy industry — consistent with a thesis centered on capital-efficient, software-driven business models. The primary concentration remains fintech, enterprise SaaS, healthtech, edtech, and mobility.
