Minerva Capital

Our thesis is based on the concept of Search Fund, as follows:

We look for companies that meet our criteria and entrepreneurs with solid businesses who are looking for transition and liquidity.

We offer an exit and succession opportunity for these entrepreneurs, preserving their legacy.

We acquire and take over management of the company, generating value through strategy review and focus on execution.

We think long term and are ready to roll up our sleeves and dedicate ourselves to managing your business.

our values

We understand and care for your legacy. We recognize the importance of your company and respect what you have built over the years. We will preserve what you have worked so hard to build.
We plan to make an acquisition that meets everyone's expectations. We are an agile and flexible group in decision-making. We plan a win-win acquisition and transition model.
We do not pursue short-term opportunities. In line with our goal of acquiring a company, we focus and prioritize long-term value creation. We will take care of your company in the future the same way you took care of it in the past.
We will dedicate ourselves entirely to the management of the acquired company. With the objective of acquiring only one company, Minerva Capital's leadership will assume the leadership of the company, dedicating itself exclusively to its transition and management.
In addition to financial resources and talent, we offer resources that few companies have access to. Our experienced and renowned investors will support the company's strategy and management through advice and participation in key routines.

Management Experience

We have experience in managing small and medium-sized companies. The entire Minerva team will be involved in the business of the acquired company.
