What GoCache does

GoCache (legal entity 3L CLOUD INTERNET SERVICES LTDA) is a privately-held Brazilian CDN and web security platform founded in 2013 and headquartered in São Caetano do Sul in the Greater São Paulo ABC region. The company distributes application content through a network of Points of Presence — 7 Brazilian cities (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Brasília, Curitiba, Manaus) plus Miami — and claims 30+ PoPs as of 2026, explicitly positioning itself as having more domestic Brazilian infrastructure than international CDN competitors. The platform bundles an intelligent CDN (Anycast routing, Gzip/Brotli compression, advanced cache rules) with layered application security: WAF with OWASP Top 10 protection, behavioral Bot Mitigation, one-click DDoS Protection, Rate Limiting, Firewall with IP/country/ASN controls, API Shield (OpenAPI-generated rules), and observability modules (Edge Insights, Threat Hub, Protection Coverage Score, Log Stream with SIEM integration).

The business operates a B2B subscription model with two tiers — Growth (entry-tier with 2 TB/month transfer, 3 domains, basic analytics, 5 Smart Rules) and Custom (enterprise with unlimited rules, PCI DSS tooling, mTLS, 24/7 dedicated support) — both priced in BRL to insulate Brazilian customers from USD exchange risk. Go-to-market combines sales-led enterprise engagement, API-first and self-serve onboarding for mid-market customers, a free Radar diagnostic tool for top-of-funnel lead capture, and the GoPartner channel program for resellers and integrators. The customer base spans Brazilian e-commerce (Ultrafarma, Posthaus, Yampi, Promobit), government (BNDES, CREA-MG, CREA-SP, Banco do Nordeste), healthcare (Unimed), retail (Habib's, Espaço Laser), sports (Flamengo), media (Metropol FM), and SaaS/PropTech (Kenlo). Leadership includes CEO Guilherme Eberhart Jorge and CMO Andre Tellini. The company is LGPD-compliant, has raised R$3.2 million in seed funding (July 2021) led by KPTL with ABSeed, and operates with a lean 1-10 employee team.
