Thesis

Norte is a pure-follower fund built by and for founders, believing in the power of goodwill and genuine relationships in a founder-built ecosystem. They co-invest in very first rounds of Brazilian and Latam companies with high visibility, operating more like a club of entrepreneurs than traditional VC. Core conviction: networks over geniuses, continuous work over overnight success, ecosystem value over fund stake size.

Likely not a fit for

Late-stage institutional plays, non-technology ventures, founders without execution capability, geographic focus outside Latam, traditional board-heavy VC models, operational meddling in portfolio companies
