Avante Ventures careers

Avante Ventures is an AI-native venture studio based in São Paulo, Brazil. Rather than investing passively, Avante co-founds companies from day zero, contributing the initial idea or its validation, first-ticket capital, and a shared team of engineers, designers, and operators who build alongside the founder.

The studio focuses on AI-native software for Brazil's service-heavy economy, where fragmented, manual industries are being rebuilt around AI. Avante pairs Silicon Valley venture-building standards with in-market Brazilian execution, running each company through a six-stage operating system from research to compounding revenue. It launches 3 to 4 ventures per year and holds to compound over the long term.

Avante concentrates on the pre-traction stage that is structurally underserved in Latin America, where local angels write small checks and global VCs wait for Series A traction. Its edge is the combination of first-ticket capital and hands-on operational depth through a company's first revenue milestone, drawing on the founding team's prior operating and exit experience across US and LATAM technology companies.
