About Anjos do Brasil

Mission

Anjos do Brasil is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2011 by Cassio Spina, to foster the development of angel investment in Brazil. We are the largest angel investor network in Brazil with over 10 affiliated groups spread from south to the north of the country gathering  more than 500 active members.

Angel investing has great potential to boost development in Brazil, by creating companies with high added value and impact.  Some examples of this type of companies are Bematech and Buscapé which were invested by angel investors and were sold years later for several hundreds of millions dollars.

An angel investor invests his skills, experience and relationships in addition to the financial resources needed to set up and develop a new company. This substantially increases the chances of success of a business and accelerates its growth. Apart from skilled jobs, it creates know-how and technology for the country.

Anjos do Brasil is a not-for-profit organization that encourages Angel Investing in support of innovative entrepreneurial projects. We are based in four pillars: 

• Supporting the formation of investment groups that connects entrepreneurs and angel investors;
• Sharing knowledge and helping to create a venture capital investment culture;
  
• Working with government to formulate and execute public policies in support of innovative entrepreneurial projects;
  
• Impact investment and measurement, as a result of angel investments in Startups.

The guiding principle of our activity is to connect all the agents of the entrepreneurial community.
