Investment thesis
Centelha is a nationwide Brazilian program that provides a first impulse for aspiring entrepreneurs with innovative ideas. It offers non-reimbursable financial support through economic subvention, technical support scholarships, training, partner services, and access to incubators and potential investors. Participants do not need a registered company to apply; a micro or small enterprise must be formed only after the project funding phase if approved. The program is executed in a decentralized manner, with each participating state issuing its own call (edital) through its state research foundation. Its third edition, launched in 2025, foresees R$155M in resources across 26 states plus the Federal District, having already supported more than 2,700 startups.
