Among the 17 most recent funded entries in Rio Grande do Sul shown here, the largest disclosed round is Salux’s $10M Venture - Series Unknown on 2021-08-06. That $10M figure stands well above the next-largest disclosed amounts in this slice, including TEPMED’s $4M (2024-08-15), Privacy Tools’ $400K (2022-02-10), and the $3M/$2M rounds (Inventsys DESKO $3M on 2022-03-10; MOVA Protocol $2M on 2026-03-09). The financing amounts otherwise cluster mostly in the sub-$1M to $1M range, with many rounds at $100K–$400K.
The list is geographically concentrated in Porto Alegre and the broader metropolitan area: Porto Alegre-based companies include Deta (2026-05-05, $100K), Plunni (2026-05-05, $60K), Clinia (2024-11-21, $350K), ESG Now (2024-08-21, $310K), and others, while Santa Maria and Canoas also recur. Temporally, rounds span 2020-07-01 (Deskfy) through 2026-06-08 (PINC), and a tight recent burst appears in May 2026 (Deta and Plunni on 2026-05-05, plus Logiez on 2026-05-02). Stage and labeling are mixed: 5 of 17 entries are “Series Unknown,” and 2 of 17 are “undisclosed” in the amount column.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts in Rio Grande do Sul?
Salux’s disclosed $10M on 2021-08-06 is the highest amount in the 17-row slice and is materially larger than the next-largest disclosed rounds, such as TEPMED’s $4M (2024-08-15) and Inventsys DESKO’s $3M (2022-03-10). Several other entries sit at $1M or below, including Get Commerce’s $1M (2022-03-22) and MOVA Protocol’s $2M (2026-03-09).
Do the most recent rounds cluster in a narrow time window?
Yes. Four of the 17 entries are dated 2026-03-09 through 2026-06-08, including MOVA Protocol on 2026-03-09 ($2M) and two rounds on 2026-05-05 (Deta $100K; Plunni $60K). Logiez follows immediately earlier on 2026-05-02 ($100K), suggesting a concentrated run in late Q1 to mid Q2 2026.
Are any cities over-represented across these 17 funded startups?
Porto Alegre appears repeatedly: Deta (2026-05-05, $100K), Plunni (2026-05-05, $60K), Clinia (2024-11-21, $350K), ESG Now (2024-08-21, $310K), Privacy Tools (2022-02-10, $400K), and Salux (2021-08-06, $10M) are all listed in Porto Alegre. Porto Alegre also appears with multiple firms in the earlier years (e.g., Inventsys DESKO is in Porto Alegre on 2022-03-10, $3M; Privacy Tools is in Porto Alegre on 2022-02-10).
What does the stage/label mix look like in this slice, and where does it create ambiguity?
“Series Unknown” appears 5 times out of 17 (e.g., PINC is Series Unknown on 2026-06-08; Alloy is Series Unknown on 2025-01-16; TEPMED is Series Unknown on 2024-08-15; Salux includes “Venture - Series Unknown” on 2021-08-06; Essent Agro has a blank stage on 2021-06-23). Amount labeling is also incomplete in 2 of 17 entries with “undisclosed” amounts, including PINC (2026-06-08) and Aquiris (2022-04-13).
Are there notable sector patterns or sector outliers worth flagging for deeper diligence?
Healthcare is a clear recurring sector with three entries: Clinia (2024-11-21, $350K), Salux (2021-08-06, $10M), and Health-adjacent listings like ESG Now is marked “Software,” while TEPMED is “Financial Services” rather than healthcare. The main outlier by sector is Salux’s $10M in Health Care (2021-08-06), which dwarfs sector peers in this slice such as Blockchain and Cryptocurrency with MOVA Protocol at $2M (2026-03-09).
