Among the 42 most recent disclosed rounds, the largest disclosed amount is ASAAS at $6M (2025-09-12), which sits far above the next-largest disclosed figures in this list (for example, $12M appears as Franq in 2022, while multiple recent entries cluster at $1M or less). The disclosed amounts also show a wide spread at the low end: Bit Energy’s $20K (2026-05-05) is the smallest disclosed amount shown, creating a long tail relative to later-stage and corporate rounds.
Timing and geography form clear clusters. Rounds are concentrated in a modern window, spanning 2020-02-21 (Transformação Digital) through 2026-05-25 (Spike Corp), with a run of multiple May–September 2025 deals in Florianópolis and nearby cities (e.g., VAAS $4M on 2025-08-27; ASAAS $6M on 2025-09-12; ReConverte $430K on 2024-11-18 also reflects the city-level skew toward Florianópolis). Sector coverage is broad, but “Financial Services” recurs often (e.g., ASAAS, Franq, Transfeera, Calcme, Hauseful, Biscoint, Débito Direto), while classifications frequently appear as “Venture - Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” amounts (5 “Venture - Series Unknown” entries and 3 “undisclosed” amounts), limiting visibility on stage and size for a subset of companies.

Frequently asked
What are the biggest and smallest disclosed rounds in this Santa Catarina list, and how extreme is the spread?
The largest disclosed round shown is ASAAS at $6M on 2025-09-12, while the smallest disclosed amount is Bit Energy at $20K on 2026-05-05. The difference is large enough that the low-end entries (e.g., $40K PinkMed on 2026-05-05) form a distinct tail away from the $1M+ cluster.
Do the most recent entries cluster by time, and which companies anchor that window?
Yes. The listing’s top-of-table dates run from 2026-05-12 (Beepay $400K) and 2026-05-05 (Bit Energy $20K; PinkMed $40K) through 2026-05-25 (Spike Corp $850K). That creates a tight late-May 2026 cluster rather than evenly spaced deal dates.
Are particular cities or the capital area over-represented in where rounds are happening?
Florianópolis appears repeatedly across multiple years and stages, including VAAS ($4M, 2025-08-27), payfy ($790K, 2023-04-10), Spotlar ($1M, 2022-12-20), Franq ($12M, 2022-10-11), and Débito Direto ($100K, 2021-09-14). Several other cities show up (Blumenau, Joinville, Balneário Camboriú, Itajaí), but Florianópolis is the most consistently repeated location in the rows shown.
Which sectors show over-representation, and does that align with any stage/size patterns?
“Financial Services” is the most repeated sector, appearing across ASAAS ($6M, 2025-09-12), Franq ($12M, 2022-10-11), Transfeera ($1M, 2023-01-11), Calcme (undisclosed, 2023-05-02), Hauseful (undisclosed, 2022-10-04), Biscoint ($400K, 2022-01-04), and Débito Direto ($100K, 2021-09-14). However, disclosed amounts within that sector span from $100K to $12M, indicating size variability rather than a single dominant check size.
How much of the list is missing stage or disclosed amount, and where does that uncertainty concentrate?
Stage visibility is incomplete in two ways: five entries are labeled “Venture - Series Unknown” (e.g., ASAAS 2025-09-12 $6M; Indicium Tech 2025-09-20 undisclosed; SAKS 2022-03-10 $5M), and three entries have “undisclosed” amounts (Indicium Tech 2025-09-20; Calcme 2023-05-02; Hauseful 2022-10-04). The unknown amounts are concentrated in companies tied to late-appearing periods (2022–2025) rather than the oldest 2020 entry.
Are there outliers that stand out due to stage type or unusually large checks compared with most recent rounds?
Yes. While many recent disclosed rounds are below $1M (e.g., Spike Corp $850K on 2026-05-25; Beepay $400K on 2026-05-12; Prolog $1M on 2024-02-08), Paytrack’s $40M (Series B, 2025-01-22) is a clear outlier within the last two-thirds of the timeline shown. Softplan’s $25M debt financing (2022-10-03) is another large-deal outlier relative to the $100K–$5M majority in most other rows.
