About
Operator-led capital for the next decade of tech.
Kinus Investments is a private investment management firm headquartered in Miami, founded in 2019. We focus on seed and angel investments in technology companies across the U.S. and Brazil.
Our story
Kinus was founded in 2019 to back the kind of technology companies its team had spent careers building, advising, and operating — companies where rigor, taste, and execution compound into something durable.
We invest at the seed and angel stages, with a tight focus on software, AI, fintech, marketplaces, and cross-border tech between the U.S. and Brazil. We bring decades of operating experience and a network that has been carefully built across both ecosystems.
We work with a small number of companies at a time so we can be genuinely useful — not just available between board meetings.
