What Alexia Ventures does

Alexia Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Brazil that invests as a first check into Latin American founders building "Intelligent Software" and Applied AI platforms. Founded in 2010, the firm operates a network-driven model that connects Silicon Valley expertise with deep Latin American market access, supported by a roster of senior advisors and venture partners. Its investment thesis explicitly targets applied AI, hybrid AI-defensible platforms, global AI/data infrastructure, AI-transformation of traditional service businesses, and disruptive deep-tech, with a stated preference for capital-efficient, globally scalable companies.

The firm deploys capital through two funds: Fund I, a US$100 million vehicle launched in October 2020, and Fund II, announced in March 2025 with a focus on startups demonstrating international scalability and strong technical innovation. The portfolio of 29+ companies spans fintech (CUB, N5, IORQ), enterprise software (Rocket.Chat, Abstra, Botcity), AI platforms (Neuralmed, Lexter, Inner AI, Foundernest, Nekt), vertical SaaS (Seedz, Herospark, Pilar), blockchain and digital assets (Parfin, Hashdex, Pods Finance), and specialized verticals such as Mecanizou (auto parts), Logcomex (trade), Visio AI (retail computer vision), Aravita (grocery optimization), and Carbonext (carbon credits). Alexia has historically taken lead or co-lead positions in Series A and seed rounds, and its portfolio companies collectively cover AI modalities including NLP, computer vision, generative AI, predictive analytics, recommendation engines, process automation, and autonomous agents.

Revenue is generated through the standard venture capital model of management fees on committed capital and carried interest on fund profits; specific fund economics are not publicly disclosed. The core team comprises seven members — co-founders Patrick Arippol and Wolff Klabin, Partner Bianca Martinelli, two investment associates, an I.R./Ops associate, and a Head of Business Development — augmented by 13+ advisors and venture partners. Distribution and deal sourcing rely on inbound inquiries via [email protected], advisor networks, content publishing, and co-hosted industry events such as the Brazil SaaS Forum.
