LFI TECH STAR PE
A7 Capital co-created this fund (LFI TECH STAR) made specifically to invest in Private Equity Funds (FIP = Fundo de Investimentos em Participações), focused on tech based business. It started by investing in 3 FIPs: Warehouse Investimentos (www.whinvestimentos.com.br), Oria Capital (www.oriacapital.com.br) and Spectra (www.spectrainvest.com). I was member of the investment committee of LFI Tech Star and of the FIP Oria Tech 1 (created by Oria, focuses on SaaS companies), which raised and invested R$ 200 million (over US$ 125 million at the time of investment). Warehouse has launched in 2015 a new fund (Pier 18) focused to invest only in US based tech companies, having made already its 1st investment in Los Angeles, USA, in www.magnopus.com, a virtual and augmented reality company.
