We are thrilled to share a major milestone in DGF’s journey: the first close of our eighth fund, with $35 million raised towards a target of $50 million.    At DGF, we remain steadfast in our mission to invest in early-stage software startups through Seed and Series A rounds. We believe that innovation thrives in all economic climates. Consistent investment — independent of market cycles — enables us to partner with extraordinary entrepreneurs who are building the future today.   This achievement is only possible because of the trust and collaboration of our founders, who inspire us with their vision and resilience, and our investors, who have stood by us on this journey.   As we celebrate this milestone, we renew our commitment to supporting the ecosystem with not just capital, but also the active engagement and expertise that have defined DGF's approach.   Here’s to the next chapter of empowering exceptional founders and driving impactful growth!   #VentureCapital #B2BSoftware #Innovation #DGF #Entrepreneurship #SeedStage #SeriesA

Semana passada realizamos o já tradicional DGF Day, na sede da Microsoft, em São Paulo, para celebrar nossos 23 anos de história e reunir a rede DGF de empreendedores, investidores e parceiros. Foi uma tarde de apresentação dos resultados das investidas e dos fundos em operação. O crescimento continua forte e sustentável, já que as receitas agregadas do portfólio cresceram 77%, com uma margem bruta média acima de 70%, resultando em um crescimento anual do valor líquido dos ativos em 40%. Desde o início de 2023, fizemos 4 novos investimentos, 3 follow-ons e 4 eventos de liquidez, reforçando nosso compromisso em aproveitar as oportunidades para retornar capital aos investidores. Debatemos também as tendências do mercado de software, em específico como as novas ferramentas de IA generativa tem impactado o mercado e novas startups que estão ou serão criadas no futuro próximo. Estamos otimistas com esta próxima onda de inovação que se inicia e deve sustentar a criação de milhares de novos negócios. Por fim, aproveitamos para apresentar alguns investimentos recentes do fundo 7 (Data4Sales e Visio.ai) e para lançar oficialmente nosso oitavo fundo, o DGF 8, que fechará em breve. Agradecemos à Microsoft, nas pessoas de Waldemir Cambiucci e Eduardo "Dug" Hilpert pela parceria na realização do evento, e especialmente aos investidores e empreendedores que estiveram presentes e que continuam nos apoiando!
