Among the 35 Rio De Janeiro–based rounds shown, Vale’s $4.4B (Post-IPO Equity, 2022-10-07) is a clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts are Descomplica’s $83M (Series E, 2021-02-18) and New Wave’s $120M (Series Unknown, 2025-04-04), while the remainder of disclosed rounds mostly sit below the $30M band (e.g., CyberLabs $29M on 2020-08-26; Cortex $30M on 2020-06-01). The list also clusters by timing: the most recent third spans 2023-10-03 to 2025-07-14, led by NG.CASH ($27M, Series B, 2025-07-14) and New Wave ($120M, 2025-04-04), with several other entries landing in 2024 (e.g., Conta Comigo Digital $530K on 2024-12-19 and deco.cx $2M on 2024-01-01).
Stage and disclosure mix are uneven: at least 12 rounds are labeled “Series Unknown” or “Undisclosed” (e.g., Riverdata 2025-05-02 undisclosed; Winnin 2024-09-13 undisclosed; Beep Saúde 2022-11-14 undisclosed), while known stages concentrate early financing (e.g., multiple Seeds/Pre-Seeds such as Rupee Tecnologia $300K on 2021-04-15 Pre-Seed and Academia do Universitário $110K on 2023-02-08 Pre-Seed). Sectors show partial clustering around software/IT and adjacent categories (Software: deco.cx 2024-01-01 $2M; V360 2025-02-19 $7M; CyberLabs 2020-08-26 $29M), alongside repeated commerce and financial services entries. The rounds span 2020-06-01 (Cortex $30M) through 2025-07-14 (NG.CASH $27M).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the Rio De Janeiro list, and is it close to the rest?
New Wave’s $120M (Series Unknown, 2025-04-04) is the largest disclosed amount on the page, and it stands above the next-highest disclosed entries like Descomplica’s $83M (Series E, 2021-02-18) and Vale’s $4.4B (Post-IPO Equity, 2022-10-07). Vale’s $4.4B is disclosed but is in a different “Post-IPO Equity” stage label, reinforcing that disclosure/stage labeling can materially change what looks “largest” versus operational rounds.
Are there noticeable time clusters among the most recent rounds?
Several rounds stack in 2024, including deco.cx $2M (Seed, 2024-01-01) and Conta Comigo Digital $530K (Seed, 2024-12-19), while the 2025 entries include NG.CASH $27M (Series B, 2025-07-14) and New Wave $120M (2025-04-04). Overall, the shown window runs from 2020-06-01 (Cortex $30M) to 2025-07-14 (NG.CASH $27M), with more activity concentrated closer to 2023–2025.
How often are stage amounts undisclosed or marked “Series Unknown,” and what does that imply for comparisons?
A sizable share can’t be compared cleanly by stage: examples include Riverdata (Angel, 2025-05-02) listed as undisclosed, Winnin (2024-09-13) undisclosed, and Essia (2022-06-20) undisclosed, alongside multiple “Series Unknown” rows such as Multiledgers (2024-11-05 $1M) and Proffer (2024-03-05 $610K with blank stage). This means any “dominant stage” conclusions should be treated as stage-labeled counts rather than amount-weighted.
Which sectors appear repeatedly enough to form a cluster?
Software/IT-adjacent categories recur: V360 is tagged Software with $7M on 2025-02-19, deco.cx is Software with $2M on 2024-01-01, and CyberLabs is tagged AI (2020-08-26) with $29M. Financial Services also reappears across multiple stages, including Malga $6M (Series A, 2025-02-25), Sling Hub $900K (Seed, 2023-10-03), and Plug $3M (Seed, 2021-11-17).
Which entries are clear amount outliers on the lower end versus the middle?
The smallest disclosed amount is Academia do Universitário’s $110K (Pre-Seed, 2023-02-08), while mid-range disclosed rounds frequently land in the low single-digit millions (e.g., Multiledgers $1M on 2024-11-05; Zerezes $4M on 2022-11-24; Gavea Marketplace $4M on 2022-01-12). At the top, $30M+ rounds like Cortex $30M (2020-06-01) and CyberLabs $29M (2020-08-26) sit alongside the much larger $120M New Wave (2025-04-04), creating a wide amount spread.
