Yellow Ventures

Yellow Ventures is a São Paulo-based seed-stage firm launched by a partnership of five Brazilian entrepreneurs. The team is anchored by Patrick Sigrist, founder of iFood — the largest online restaurant marketplace in Latin America — alongside Norberto Monfort, co-founder of brokers Link Investimentos and Rico.com.vc; Jean Sigrist, co-founder of Guide Investimentos; and Marco Camhaji, a former partner at Redpoint eventures. Their aggregated operating history spans consumer internet, financial services, and enterprise IT, creating a GP base defined by operator experience rather than traditional financial careers. The firm targets first-check positions where its partners' operational knowledge can change a company's trajectory. Sectors of emphasis include fintech, digital health, marketplaces, and enterprise software. Yellow Ventures has backed Banco Neon, a digital banking challenger where partner Norberto Monfort holds an investor-director role, and maintains a relationship with parent company Inmetrics, where partner Alexandre Junqueira serves as Chairman. The firm's capital deployment geography is concentrated in Brazil, with peripheral visibility into broader Latin American seed-stage networks through partners' prior regional leadership roles at firms such as Redpoint eventures and iFood. Yellow Ventures does not run sector-specific fund vehicles or publicly disclose fund sizes, operating instead as a pooled conviction vehicle for its five general partners. Yellow Ventures lists five partners on its website: Sigrist, Monfort, Sigrist, Junqueira, and Camhaji. Inmetrics, co-founded by Junqueira, is described as Yellow Ventures' parent company, creating a corporate sponsorship layer unique among Brazilian seed-stage firms. The firm's office sits on Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima in São Paulo's financial district. No recent fund closes or deployment figures have been publicly disclosed. Yellow Ventures' structural distinction is its parent-company relationship with Inmetrics, a Latin American IT optimization firm with operations in Chile and Colombia. This tie grants the seed-stage vehicle access to technical due diligence resources and corporate enterprise networks uncommon for an early-stage investor, while keeping investment decisions within the founder-partner group at Yellow Ventures itself.

Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Yellow Ventures?

The partnership group — Patrick Sigrist, Norberto Monfort, Jean Sigrist, Alexandre Junqueira, and Marco Camhaji — makes investment decisions together. Each brings founder-level operating experience from companies including iFood, Link Investimentos, Guide Investimentos, Inmetrics, and Redpoint eventures. The firm does not identify a single CIO or CEO, reflecting its consensus-driven, partnership structure.

How is Yellow Ventures related to Inmetrics?

Inmetrics is described on the firm's own website as Yellow Ventures' parent company. Alexandre Junqueira, a Yellow Ventures partner, co-founded Inmetrics and serves as its Chairman. This structure provides Yellow Ventures with access to Inmetrics' technical due diligence capabilities and its enterprise relationships across Latin America.

Does Yellow Ventures invest solely in Brazil, or across Latin America?

Yellow Ventures' disclosed activity is concentrated in Brazil. While partners such as Marco Camhaji and Patrick Sigrist have prior regional experience across Latin America — through roles at Redpoint eventures, iFood, and Movile — the firm's own deployment appears focused on Brazilian seed-stage companies.

What investment stage does Yellow Ventures typically target?

Yellow Ventures targets seed-stage investments. The firm markets itself as moving quickly and valuing founders' time, aligning its check-writing with first institutional capital rounds where the partners' operating backgrounds can provide hands-on support.

Where does the Yellow Ventures partnership's wealth and operating background come from?

The partnership's background is publicly disclosed on the firm's website. Patrick Sigrist founded iFood, Latin America's largest restaurant marketplace. Norberto Monfort co-founded Link Investimentos (acquired by UBS) and Rico.com.vc. Jean Sigrist co-founded Guide Investimentos and Lineinvest (sold to Banco Itaú). Alexandre Junqueira co-founded Inmetrics. Marco Camhaji was a partner at Redpoint eventures and CFO at Movile.

Does Yellow Ventures participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

Yellow Ventures operates as a direct seed-stage investor and does not present itself as a fund-of-funds or participant in external fund commitments. Its model is principal-level check-writing into individual startups, leveraging the partnership's collective founder expertise.

Which sectors does Yellow Ventures explicitly avoid?

The firm does not publish a list of excluded sectors. Its publicly named focus areas include fintech, health tech, marketplaces, enterprise software, and agri-food — a reflection of the partners' own operating histories rather than a formal investment-policy exclusion.
