Globo Ventures

Globo Ventures is the corporate venture capital (CVC) arm of Grupo Globo, the largest media conglomerate in Latin America. Established in 2017, this investment firm is strategically positioned to identify and support innovative startups that align with the parent company's vast media and technology ecosystem. Its core mission is to foster innovation, drive digital transformation, and create synergistic partnerships that benefit both Grupo Globo and its portfolio companies, leveraging the conglomerate's extensive reach and resources.

The firm primarily focuses on early-stage investments, targeting startups in the seed and Series A rounds. Their investment thesis is centered on sectors critical to the future of media, entertainment, and technology, including content and media tech, ad tech, data and AI, gaming, e-commerce, and various digital services. Beyond providing capital, Globo Ventures offers its portfolio companies invaluable strategic support, access to Grupo Globo's vast distribution channels, market expertise, and the potential for pilot projects and integration within one of the region's most influential media platforms.

Globo Ventures typically deploys first cheques ranging from R$1 million to R$10 million, which translates approximately to $200,000 to $2,000,000 USD based on recent exchange rates. This positions them as a significant early-stage investor within the Brazilian and broader Latin American startup landscape. They seek to acquire minority stakes in promising companies that demonstrate strong potential for growth and strategic alignment, aiming to cultivate a portfolio that not only delivers financial returns but also contributes to the ongoing evolution and innovation of Grupo Globo's core businesses.
