Across the 38 most recent funded rounds in Rio de Janeiro, the largest disclosed amount is Vale at $4.4B (round date 2022-10-07), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds such as Descomplica’s $83M (2021-02-18) and New Wave’s $120M (2025-04-04). At the other edge, the smallest disclosed amount is BuscaJuris at $190K (2022-07-19), underscoring a wide spread in disclosed round sizes.
The timing is also clustered: four rounds with disclosed amounts fall between 2025-02-19 and 2025-07-14 (e.g., V360 $7M on 2025-02-19, Malga $6M on 2025-02-25, NG.CASH $27M on 2025-07-14, and Datamint $5M on 2026-06-12 stands apart after). Sector concentration appears around AI (Datamint 2026-06-12 $5M, Trinio 2026-05-25 $6M, Riverdata 2025-05-02 undisclosed, Proffer 2024-03-05 $610K, CyberLabs 2020-08-26 $29M). Stage reporting is frequently missing or unclear: “Series Unknown” and blank/undisclosed amounts recur across the list (e.g., LiveMode 2026-05-14 undisclosed; Beep Saúde 2022-11-14 undisclosed). Dates span 2020-06-01 (Cortex $30M) through 2026-06-12 (Datamint $5M).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed rounds look most unusual in size relative to the rest of the Rio de Janeiro list?
Vale’s $4.4B (2022-10-07) is the clear outlier, far above the next-largest disclosed amounts such as New Wave’s $120M (2025-04-04) and Descomplica’s $83M (2021-02-18). On the low end, BuscaJuris is disclosed at just $190K (2022-07-19), well below the rest of the disclosed floor.
Are there bursts in the most recent timeline, or are rounds evenly distributed over time?
The list is skewed toward the recent years shown: several disclosed rounds cluster in 2025–2026 (e.g., Trinio $6M on 2026-05-25; Datamint $5M on 2026-06-12; NG.CASH $27M on 2025-07-14; New Wave $120M on 2025-04-04), rather than being evenly spread from 2020 onward. The earliest disclosed amounts in the table appear in 2020 (Cortex $30M on 2020-06-01; CyberLabs $29M on 2020-08-26).
Do any sectors appear more often than others among these 38 funded startups?
Artificial Intelligence appears repeatedly: Datamint (Series A, 2026-06-12, $5M), Trinio (Seed, 2026-05-25, $6M), Proffer (2024-03-05, $610K), Riverdata (2025-05-02, undisclosed), and CyberLabs (2020-08-26, $29M). Commerce and Shopping also shows up multiple times (e.g., Clubbi $12M on 2022-06-01; Zerezes $4M on 2022-11-24; Tattoo Place undisclosed on 2022-10-25).
How complete is stage and amount disclosure, and does that affect interpreting the list’s “top rounds”?
Amount disclosure is incomplete in multiple entries: LiveMode (2026-05-14) is undisclosed, Riverdata (2025-05-02) is undisclosed, and Beep Saúde (2022-11-14) is undisclosed, among others. Stage labels also frequently read as missing or unclear (“Series Unknown” or blank), including LiveMode (2026-05-14) and New Wave (2025-04-04, though amount is disclosed at $120M).
Within the AI cluster, which rounds set the upper and lower disclosed bounds?
Within AI entries that disclose amounts, the lower disclosed bound is Proffer at $610K (2024-03-05) and the upper disclosed bound is CyberLabs at $29M (2020-08-26), with several mid-range rounds such as Trinio $6M (2026-05-25) and Datamint $5M (2026-06-12). Riverdata (2025-05-02) is AI-labeled but undisclosed, so it cannot be used to tighten those bounds.
