Base Partners

Base Growth, formerly known as Base Partners, is a São Paulo-based growth equity firm established in 2018. The firm distinguishes itself by being backed by a consortium of experienced Brazilian business owners, which provides a unique blend of capital and operational expertise to its portfolio companies. Base Growth focuses on investing in high-potential companies that have demonstrated robust business models and are led by strong management teams, primarily targeting the Brazilian market.

The firm's investment strategy is sector-agnostic, encompassing a wide array of industries including technology, retail, services, health, education, logistics, agribusiness, and financial services. Base Growth typically seeks to acquire minority stakes in companies, providing growth capital alongside strategic and operational support. Their value proposition extends beyond mere financial investment, leveraging the collective experience and extensive network of their backing entrepreneurs to help portfolio companies scale, optimize operations, and navigate market challenges.

Base Growth is known for its typical first cheque sizes, which generally range from $5 million to $25 million. This range positions them to support companies that have moved beyond the early-stage startup phase but require significant capital infusion to accelerate their expansion and market penetration. As of early 2024, the firm has made over 10 investments, demonstrating a consistent commitment to fostering growth across diverse sectors within Brazil. Their approach emphasizes long-term partnerships, aiming to contribute actively to the strategic development and success of their portfolio companies.
