Explore insights and news on my portfolio companies and the founders I worked with.
Manoel was one of my first investors and undoubtedly the one who supported me most during the company's toughest times. He consistently provided invaluable insights—from strategy and fundraising to product development—and remained by our side through to our exit.
He's been an essential part of Passei Direto's story.
Manoel was our first institutional investor through Redpoint eventures and served as my board member for many years—essentially the entire Memed journey. He was one of the key reasons for our success, with a rare mix of strong connections, deep knowledge in strategy and tech, and, above all, a truly good, ethical, and loyal human being.
You really get to know people in hard times—and the support I received, both professionally and personally, was extraordinary. I’ll always be grateful.
Manoel brings a unique combination of pragmatism and visionary thinking to our board. His insights are delivered with simplicity and precision, always connecting the dots in unexpected ways while offering practical challenges that guide our strategic decisions.
Having someone who maintains an outside perspective while deeply understanding the nuances of both Violet and VERT Capital has been invaluable. I'm incredibly grateful to have him on our journey!
