Ranking maps the 25 startups with the greatest potential in Brazil
Dom Cabral Foundation (FDC) has mapped out the 25 Brazilian startups with the greatest growth potential over the next few years.
The survey considered industry data, the number of employees, location, year founded, investments received, and sales model.
The report also shows the main high-growth startups in the country, with business realities different from those observed in other countries worldwide.
“Dom Cabral Foundation hopes that the mapping will contribute to a better understanding of the universe of startups in Brazil, assessing the capacity to expand and replicate these businesses.
“In addition to helping entrepreneurs and those interested in the subject to measure this growth and potential for investment,” says Hugo Tadeu, a professor and director of FDC’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
At first, 216 startups were cataloged, with an average growth rate above 20% and a minimum investment of US$1 million from the date they were founded.
In addition, all had at least one award of distinction, such as the Top 100 Open Startups, ScaleUp Endeavor, and InovAtiva Brasil.
To search for newly founded startups, it was decided to consider, in the ranking, only those founded as of 2017.
The ranking shows that only seven startups listed contain an investment above the average of US$124.3 million.
The sectors with the highest average cumulative investment are construtech & proptech, with US$938.6 million, and retailtech, with US$501 million – both with one representative among the 25 in the ranking.
And fintech & insurtech with US$114.9 million and eight representatives. Notably, 50% of the startups listed in the ranking raised investments above US$26.8 million.
Among the sectors in which startups operate, fintech & insurtech, related to the financial sector, remain in evidence on the national scene.
According to the Fintech Report 2022, the number of companies in the sector has quadrupled in less than ten years.
The volume of investments in the area followed the upward trend and enabled the rise of this market.
Of the companies listed in the ranking, 32% receive this classification. The logtech & autotech & mobility sector is in second place (16%), followed by Agritech (12%).
