Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Paris Ventures is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in AI/ML, Enterprise SaaS, Vertical SaaS, and Data Infrastructure, especially across Brazil, South America, and Americas.

Focus statement

Focus areas are industrial and infrastructure-oriented opportunities tied to steel and adjacent sectors (construction, automotive, energy, naval, machinery), decarbonization / low‑carbon 'green' steel technologies, digital platforms and supply‑chain solutions that improve customer experience and operational performance.

Value Add

Century-plus industrial heritage and scale: "Há mais de 120 anos..." and positioning as "a maior multinacional brasileira produtora de aço" — long operating track record and market reach across the Americas.
Integrated industrial and logistics footprint including own port terminal (Terminal Portuário Gerdau) enabling strategic export/ cabotage capabilities.
In-house Digital Factory (created 2019) that acts as an internal accelerator combining designers, data scientists, agile roles and cloud investments to drive digital transformation and a 'data driven' culture.
Explicit, corporate-level ESG and compliance infrastructure: Programas de Integridade, Código de Ética e Conduta, Política Anticorrupção — formal governance to detect/mitigate internal and external risks.
Concrete technical focus on low-carbon and innovative steel production routes (references to 'aço verde', 'aço de baixo carbono', hydrogen and CCUS technologies) rather than only downstream services.
Workforce & inclusion programs (e.g., G.Start) that create hiring pipelines and emphasize diversity as a business enabler.
