Max Jones
Working with Vini was always an absolute pleasure. As a partner of the fund he managed endless vital tasks from A-Z including setting up the entire fund structure and handling all processes from start to finish. From hosting exceptional pitch events to supporting portfolio companies, deal brokering and handling strict DD and negotiations on all startup deals seemlessly. He really handles it all. Vini wears many hats and does it so smoothly. He's learned the valuable skill of jumping from a wide range of taks while maintaining a high level of strategic thinking and attention to detail. Thank you, Vini, for training me in the ways of Venture Capital. I couldn't have asked for a better Jedi to teach me the way.

The first time I worked with Vinícius was in Gávea Investimentos. It was a pleasure to see how committed he was to face any challenge and create a good environment for his peers. From the start, he showed that his creativity and problem-solving skills are top-notch. I eventually met with Vinícius once again when we went to business school. By then, he had already started to trail a very interesting approach to innovation and entrepreneurship. It was very interesting to see how he fitted well with different cultures and activities. An inspiring take on leadership. I’d recommend Vinícius to any company looking to add a truly great professional and individual to its team. I hope we can work together again in the future.

MBA Internship - Country Manager Brazil

Jul 2018 - Sep 2018
OFI was an intense endeavor. Many things were accomplished in around three months. In the first part of the project, I had an in-depth learning by working with the founder in our office in Mexico. During this time, I designed the strategic plan and negotiated key partnerships for our launch in Brazil. After this period, I went to Brazil and turned my apart-hotel room into our first Brazilian office. Then, doing business development and marketing actions, I left the startup with a good start in the country. Show less

Volunteer Investment / Social Impact Consultant

May 2016 - Aug 2017
At Sitawi, I started my work with early-stage investments. I guided investments in two startups by supporting the companies and its connected founders in the Edtech and Healthtech industries. My primary responsibilities were evaluating loan conditions and projects' feasibility, considering the social reach and the scalability of the solutions, and the financial sustainability of the startups.

Making my move to entrepreneurship, I started as an associated partner / co-founder at Renta Investimentos. There, I had the opportunity to oversee business development and strategic finance in a startup company. Taking clever actions, I saved on income taxes and explore growth opportunities in different markets. As part of our strategic plan, I also helped manage the development of our fintech (ZipDin App) using different methodologies in the pre-launch stage.

Sep 2015 - Apr 2016
After seven years of a fulfilling career in the financial market, I elected to refocus my priorities and follow other passions. During this time, I spent around six months traveling alone through South and Central America to improve my Spanish language skills, surf, and work as a volunteer. This trip allowed me to reflect. During my journey, I decided to begin a new path using my previously acquired skills to work with innovation, social impact, and startups. It was the seed for my next project.
