About DGF Investimentos
Brazilian venture capital firm focused on high-growth B2B software companies.
DGF Investimentos is a venture capital firm based in São Paulo, Brazil. Sources disagree on its founding year: its LinkedIn page lists 2001, while PitchBook gives 1998, so the date should be treated as unconfirmed. LinkedIn describes the firm as a partnership with 11 to 50 employees. Crunchbase says the firm manages a family of early-stage VC funds and has completed close to sixty investments. PitchBook records the firm as active, and Crunchbase lists it as private. No individual partners or AI investing leads were confirmed in the sources reviewed, so the team is not named here.
The firm has backed AI-driven software. In a LinkedIn post, DGF announced it led a USD 2.5 million seed round in Visio.ai, a startup that applies artificial intelligence and computer vision to let franchise owners review store operations remotely and in real time. The firm's LinkedIn updates also report that DGF made four new investments and two exits in 2023, and that two portfolio companies raised follow-on rounds. The announcement does not give the year of the Visio.ai round.
DGF describes its current fund as focused on early-stage SaaS startups, and Crunchbase lists Seed as its stage. Lounge tags the firm for Seed and Series A. The firm's check sizes are not publicly disclosed in the sources reviewed. The USD 2.5 million figure is the total size of the Visio.ai seed round, not DGF's individual investment.
- Visio.ai: applies AI and computer vision to remote, real-time monitoring of store operations for franchise owners; DGF led its USD 2.5 million seed round (year not confirmed).
