Launching Bamboo: A Pioneering Platform to Transform Brazilian Debt Capital Markets

April 4, 2022 – S?o Paulo, Brazil

Charting the Course of Debt Financing with a Tech-First Vision

As we set foot into a new chapter, I am thrilled to unveil Bamboo DCM , a brainchild born from decades of insights and the pressing need to modernize the realm of Debt Capital Markets in Brazil.

Transitioning through roles that span from a nuclear submarine officer to being an integral piece in unicorn ventures, I've persistently faced a distinct challenge in Brazil: the evident gap between technology platforms and capital markets. Alongside Felipe Moraes , my trusted ally from our days at Movile and iFood , our vision has come alive: Bamboo, Latam's pioneering tech-centric platform for Debt Capital Markets.

Bamboo's Mission: Seamlessly Connecting Tech Companies with Institutional Investors

Our tenure at institutions like iFood, and our investments in budding platforms like Creditas and Sympla, presented a recurring narrative. These tech-driven entities, despite their industry, inherently required the design, scaling, and maintenance of specialized financial products, primarily circling credit solutions.

This narrative birthed an epiphany. Almost every tech-savvy venture in Latam inherently intertwines with a fintech facet, magnified by the outdated methodologies of the debt capital markets.

Enter Bamboo, our answer to this paradigm. Our digital-forward platform is sculpted for tech organizations aiming to launch, oversee, and distribute high-yield financial tools such as FIDCs, LCAs, and Legal Claims escrow funds. The days of executive bandwidth being drained by credit undertakings? We're making it history.

Innovating Debt Distribution Through Rich Data Insights

The current scenario confines institutional investors to an age of limited digitization, devoid of the empowerment data-driven insights can offer. The age-old practices of committing to private credit investments, often tethered to limited documentation and brief consultative interactions, are a deterrent to informed decision-making.

Compounding this is the liquidity challenge. Traditional channels of transacting in debt instruments are convoluted, often resulting in significant compromises.

Bamboo promises a departure from this norm. Our Debt Capital Markets Platform stands as a herald of change, ensuring that investing in private credit isn't an elusive domain, but a transparent, data-enriched, and streamlined journey.

Why Bamboo? Our Heritage and Our Pledge

My journey across diverse financial landscapes, from Credit Suisse's equity derivatives to Movile's capital strategies, paired with Felipe’s illustrious tenures at Pacific Investments and Innova Capital , endows Bamboo with a rich heritage.

Collectively, our experiences span the gamut, from nascent ideation to groundbreaking IPOs. With Bamboo, our charter is to equip visionary founders with a holistic perspective on structured financing challenges.
