Frequently asked questions
How does Rise Ventures source deals in Brazil?
Rise Ventures leverages its local presence and deep knowledge of Brazil’s diverse regions and biomes to source and evaluate opportunities. The firm’s investment track record and on-the-ground relationships give it an edge in accessing companies that deliver both positive impact and attractive financial returns across multiple sectors and operating models.
What investment stages does Rise Ventures target?
Rise Ventures focuses on early-growth and expansion-stage private equity. Its previous fund, launched in 2021, was dedicated to early-growth investing with a socio-environmental mandate and has been fully raised and invested, per the firm’s own disclosures.
Which sectors does Rise Ventures explicitly invest in?
The firm invests in renewable energy, water treatment, regenerative agriculture, circular economy and waste separation, biotechnology for climate mitigation, inclusive education, and affordable credit and financial solutions. These sectors align with its thesis of decarbonizing the planet and strengthening underserved communities.
How is the investment team structured?
Rise operates under a three co-founder leadership group — CEO, CIO, and a Board member — supported by partners responsible for investments, portfolio management and value creation, compliance and risk, people and impact, and fundraising and investor relations. The structure separates investment execution from impact and operational oversight.
Does Rise Ventures participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm operates as a direct private equity investor through its own dedicated funds. Its disclosed structure does not indicate a fund-of-funds approach or co-mingled LP commitments into third-party vehicles; capital is deployed directly into portfolio companies.
