Financier André Dionysio has decided to leave the investment world to become an operator of Brazilian SMEs. He founded Vesper Capital and secured the support of 18 investors, including his former employer Allievo Capital, alongside Spectra Investments, Vonzeo Capital, KVIV, Kyr Capital, Colca Capital, BM Holdings, Cabiedes Inversiones, Bietou Capital, Mazal Capital, and Ventus Capital, among others.
André has extensive knowledge of the SF industry. Prior to founding Vesper Capital, he led the SF vertical at Allievo Capital, where he structured the practice and managed the investment pipeline. He also worked on Voke’s M&A team, directly participating in a strategic acquisition. Earlier in his career, he was a partner at Gera Capital, a Brazilian PE firm focused on the education and healthcare sectors, where he led the healthcare strategy and drove value-creation initiatives in portfolio companies. Before that, he served as an analyst and member of the equity investment committee at Icatu Vanguarda, and as an international macroeconomics analyst at Gap Asset Management. He holds an Executive MBA from IESE Business School.
He stated: “Vesper is the result of my professional journey as an investor and entrepreneur, combining deep expertise in the financial market, a passion for entrepreneurship, and the desire to leave a positive legacy. We are convinced that Brazil offers unique opportunities for well-managed companies with a long-term growth orientation.”
Regarding its investment thesis, Vesper Capital is pursuing an industry-agnostic strategy in Brazil’s Southeast and South regions, targeting companies with high-quality earnings (recurring revenue, robust margins, solid cash flow) that can scale further through operational excellence and disciplined growth.
