This has led to a portfolio with some of the most visionary real economy enterprises in Brazil.

We become business partners and implement our full venture studio methodology.

“Rise has been fundamental to making Beleaf a company that is financially scaleable and that seeks at its core to make a positive impact on the world. The stand-out aspect of the work they have done with Beleaf has been the development of the leadership team in a manner that is authentic, empathetic and transparent. In addition, Rise has been responsible for raising investment through Smart Money, which is extremely well aligned to our values.”
— Fernando Bardusco, CEO of Beleaf

“Rise took Beleaf’s management to another level, through in-depth discussions, analyses and resolutions, so that we have consistency in our business and can manage things in the most appropriate and correct manner that the situation demands and allows. To start down the road with Rise was to take a step towards the professionalization of a Start-Up, without losing the characteristics of one, which are speed, assertiveness in investing, and decision-making within a development scenario.”
— Cíntia Trovo, Executive Chef and Managing Partner of Beleaf

“Out of the vast array of Life’s possibilities, WOLFF CAFÉ’s path crossed that of Rise Ventures, and we became a vested company, part of a portfolio with people of positive energy. From this meeting we have gained robust metrics, management and brand positioning. I feel a sense of gratitude along with awareness of the new challenges, knowing that I have friends at my side who can help secure the sustained growth that is our destiny.”
— Hugo Wolff, Managing Partner, Founder and CEO of Wolff Café.

"The value that Rise adds to the business is enormous: from the capture of resources, through to the management and methodologies, the highly-skilled and hands-on team they provide, and the networking. It’s noticeable how much the transformation that has occurred since they joined as managing partners of Beleaf has been crucial to the development of our company."
— Jônatas Mesquita, co-founder and CMO of Beleaf

"Having a business with leveraged growth, such as Beleaf, raises challenges that go beyond the ability of the entrepreneur to execute. Rise’s support, with methodology for building a business plan, governance, hands-on people, resource capture, and managing partners who are aligned, has made this journey much more secure.”
— Fábio Biase, co-founder and COO of Beleaf
