A working portfolio, not a pitch list. Six entries below: the current Avante studio cohort, one realized exit (Sigga), and the alumni ventures that shaped the operating playbook we use today. The studio caps at 3–4 new ventures per year — by design.
Industrial asset management software for Brazilian mid-market operators. Mobile-native, SAP-integrated, sold into mining, paper, energy.
AI-native operator platform built by repeat founders Jess Mah + Andrea Barrica. Studio-affiliated; defines our partner-of-record model.
Async insurance pricing + risk scoring API. AXA pilot in motion; reference architecture for InsurTech sales across LATAM.
Debt capital markets advisory + structuring built by Felipe Moraes. Strategic partner across the studio cap stack.
AI-native learning company; studio-adjacent reference for product loop design in consumer education.
Profitable accounting + finance platform founded by Jess Mah. Scaled to 100+ employees; reference operator track record for the studio.
We launch 3–4 new ventures per year inside the studio. The active cohort listed here is intentionally narrow — a discipline, not a scarcity. New cohort additions are introduced after a venture has cleared Stage 3 (Build) of the playbook.
Top row: realized outcomes from the founding team. Bottom row: early operational signals from the current cohort.
Ventures currently in Stage 1–3 of the playbook (Research / Partner / Build). Names and details may shift before public launch.
Pipeline ventures are pre-launch — names, taglines, and scope are subject to change as theses sharpen. Track Record above reflects realized outcomes from the founding team's prior work, not Pipeline performance.
