America Net

What America Net does

America Net, now operating under the brand Vero, is a Brazilian internet service provider founded in 1996 and headquartered in Barueri, Brazil. The company delivers high-speed voice and data connectivity through its own optical fiber and radio network infrastructure, serving both residential consumers (under the Vero brand) and business customers (under the Vero Empresas brand). The company maintains 501-1,000 employees and operates exclusively within the Brazilian market, positioning itself on service quality and agile customer support rather than competing primarily on price against larger national telcos.

The company's product portfolio consists of two core lines: Vero, a subscription-based residential broadband service accessed via direct online sign-up through verointernet.com.br, and Vero Empresas, a business-grade internet offering targeted at enterprise and SMB clients with a dedicated B2B portal at meuamericanetempresas.com.br. Both products are delivered over the company's owned fiber optic and radio infrastructure, providing vertical control over the core transport layer. In 2024, the company completed a full rebrand from Americanet to Vero/Vero Empresas, signaling a strategic shift toward positioning the business around customer experience rather than pure connectivity.

The business model is recurring subscription-based with monthly billing managed through online customer portals. The company raises capital from investor Invest Tech, with four funding rounds totaling approximately $56.3M between 2017 and 2021. The company has raised approximately $56.3M total across four rounds from 2017 through 2021, with the largest single round of $39.3M closed in August 2019, supporting continued network and customer growth.
