What we invest in

Software, AI, and the rails of modern business.

AI applications & infrastructure

Practical AI products with clear business value, and the picks-and-shovels powering them.

B2B SaaS & vertical software

Workflow tools that compound across an industry's tail of unsolved problems.

Fintech & embedded finance

Payments, credit, and back-office rails for underserved businesses and consumers.

Marketplaces & commerce platforms

Two-sided networks where Kinus' operating playbooks can shorten time-to-liquidity.

Cross-border SaaS

Latin America-built companies expanding to the U.S., and U.S. teams entering Brazil.

Frontier & deep-tech bets

Selective early-stage deep-tech and developer-platform investments.

How we help

Capital is the entry point. Operating leverage is the work.

Kinus is led by operators who have built and scaled technology companies on both sides of the border. We invest the way we'd want to be invested in: clear, decisive, and useful between the wires.

  • Capital: pre-seed and seed checks, with selective angel participation.
  • Operating know-how from running and scaling tech businesses.
  • Cross-border reach across U.S. and Brazilian ecosystems.
  • Hands-on support with go-to-market, hiring, and fundraising strategy.
  • Long-term, founder-aligned partnership — not a one-quarter handshake.
