Founded in 2019, Allievo Capital is an investment firm built on an entrepreneurial and ambidextrous (investor & operational) approach to creating long-term value. To date, they have realized more than 20 investments in the VC and PE segments, with 2 successful exits. Co-founded by Managing Partners Guilherme Queiroz and Matheus Baldi, André Dionysio serves as the head of Search Funds Investments, a sector where they began investing in 2022.
They have now decided to create a vertical with a specific fund to invest solely in SFs and aim to raise about US$40M for this vehicle during the current year. Their focus in this segment will primarily be Brazil, accounting for 80% of the fund, with the remaining 20% dedicated to backing searchers in Latin America, the US, and Europe. Over the past two years, they have participated in two acquisitions in the SF sector: the brand design agency Tatil and the refrigeration and electronics rental company Colortel, acquired by Paradigma Ventures and Lotta Capital, respectively.
Allievo works with and supports top-tier entrepreneurs throughout their entire journeys, employing a “hands-on” approach, as the founders benefit from extensive experience in operations. They are currently in discussions with a dozen searchers in Brazil and some abroad, and they have already realized soft commitments on two, including Brazilian-based Longati Capital.
