Software for venture capital funds in Brazil
One platform for high-volume deal flow, founder scoring, IC memos, portfolio monitoring and LP reporting, priced in BRL.
Reuben AI is used by venture capital teams across multiple jurisdictions. This page summarises how the platform fits the regulatory and structural context that venture capital teams in Brazil typically operate in.
A venture manager runs a high-volume top of funnel against a small number of cheques, then supports those positions through many rounds of dilution. The operating problem is keeping deal flow, ownership and investor reporting consistent while the portfolio compounds in complexity.
Regulatory context in Brazil
The primary financial services regulator is CVM (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários), with fund vehicles also engaging Anbima (Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais).
Brazilian private capital typically uses Fundos de Investimento em Participações (FIP) governed by CVM Resolução 175, with monthly CDA portfolio reporting, Anbima best-practice compliance, and PLD/FT programme oversight.
Common fund structures we see
- Fundo de Investimento em Participações (FIP) under CVM Resolução 175
- Fundo de Investimento Multimercado (FIM)
- Administrator and Gestor registered with the CVM
Reuben AI is structure-agnostic. It stores investment, LP and portfolio data in a shared model that maps cleanly onto each of the vehicle wrappers above. It is not a legal, tax or regulatory advice tool. Fund formation and structure decisions should be taken with qualified local counsel.
In-market depth for Brazil
Brazil is a priority market for VC and PE. Reuben AI is used by gestoras across São Paulo and Rio, with workflows aligned to CVM Resolução 175 and Anbima best practices for FIPs.
Regulatory depth
- CVM Resolução 175: the consolidated regulatory framework for investment funds, including the FIP (Fundo de Investimento em Participações) annex on structured funds.
- CVM Resolução 21: registration and conduct requirements for administradores and gestores de recursos.
- Anbima: Código de Regulação e Melhores Práticas para Administração de Recursos de Terceiros.
- Resolução CMN 4.373: investor-side rules for non-resident capital entering Brazilian markets.
Vehicles institutional teams use here
Brazilian VC and PE teams typically operate through FIP Multiestratégia, FIP Capital Semente or FIP Empresas Emergentes vehicles, with a separate administrador fiduciário and gestor de recursos. Reuben AI stores the administrador and gestor split natively, along with the FIP cota-holder register and CDA portfolio composition.
Reporting and currency norms
Base currency is BRL, with USD overlays for LPs raised via Resolução CMN 4.373 channels. Monthly CDA composition reporting and quarterly LP reporting to Anbima templates are the norm.
Operating context
Support and product hours cover BRT. LP-pack exports can be prepared in PT-BR. Data isolation is per-workspace with regional cloud residency available on request.

How venture capital teams in Brazil actually operate
Venture teams see far more opportunities than they can act on, and most of the value of a pipeline is in the record of what was passed on and why. Firms that cannot recall their own history end up re-diligencing companies they already know, and end up unable to explain a decision to their investment committee months later.
On the portfolio side, ownership is the number that matters and the number most often wrong. Each priced round, safe conversion, option pool refresh and secondary sale changes it. When the cap table lives in a spreadsheet, fund-level ownership becomes an estimate. Reuben AI recomputes ownership from the round events themselves, so the position and the report agree.
The recurring work Reuben AI carries
Pipeline with memory
Every company seen, the decision taken and the reasoning retained, so a returning founder meets a firm that remembers them.
Diligence to memo
Documents, references and analysis assembled into an investment committee memo drawn from the underlying record rather than retyped.
Ownership through dilution
Rounds, conversions, pool refreshes and secondaries applied so that ownership is computed, not maintained.
Investor reporting
Capital account, valuation and portfolio commentary produced from the same record used to manage the fund.
Local structuring, tax and regulatory advice remains with the fund's counsel and administrator. Reuben AI is software and is not registered with CVM (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários).
Common questions
Does Reuben AI replace the venture CRM?
Yes for most teams. Pipeline, diligence, portfolio and investor reporting sit on one record, which is what removes the reconciliation work between a CRM and the fund's actual books.
How is ownership kept accurate over many rounds?
By storing the round events and recomputing ownership from them, rather than storing a percentage that has to be manually updated every time the cap table moves.
Can the fund report to investors without an administrator?
Reporting is generated from the fund record. Whether an administrator signs off on those figures remains the manager's choice and their audit arrangement.
