Brazil sees higher angel investment but loses participants - Startups

▤ Summary

Brazil’s angel investment market grew in total volume in 2025, but the number of active investors slipped slightly. Startups received R$ 919 million in angel capital, up 4.2% year over year, while the investor base fell to 8,044 people. The Anjos do Brasil study says the recovery is being driven by existing investors putting in larger average checks rather than by new participants entering the market. The organization expects further growth in 2026 if interest rates ease and policy incentives improve, but it says Brazil still lacks the tax benefits seen in other markets. The report also shows gradual progress in investor diversity, though the ecosystem remains mostly male and white.
