São Paulo, Brazil

Inventa is a B2B wholesale marketplace connecting SMBs (retailers) directly to manufacturers (suppliers) in an easy-to-use online platform. In Brazil alone, more than 19 million SMBs have less than USD 1 million in revenue per year in an extremely fragmented market with many intrinsic challenges for its operators. Similar models outside of LATAM include Faire (US) and Udaan (India).

In Latin America, many small retailers face a challenging environment when buying new products since (i) buying new products intrinsically imposes a financial risk as retailers might not sell them accordingly, (ii) many players have a poor inventory management system in place, and (iii) finding new products that have a high customer interest is not easy in the fragmented market of resellers. Manufacturers also face challenges: finding and accessing new small clients, distributing products to them in an efficient and viable way, and evaluating their credit risk.

Inventa was founded to reduce the friction between manufacturers and retailers and to increase sales for both sides. Retailers can easily find new products, acquire them with no need to pay upfront and return what they don’t sell within a certain period of time. Manufacturers benefit from standard payment terms, access to new clients with no credit risk, and partners to handle shipping and logistics. For its services, Inventa charges a double-digit take rate from manufacturers but no fees from retailers.

Investment philosophy

ONEVC is a seed-stage venture capital firm backing builders across Latin America. We've helped build companies ourselves and know firsthand the courage, ambition, and energy it takes to build something from scratch. That experience shapes how we invest and how we partner: our builders are the protagonists, and being invited along for their journey is a privilege we don't take lightly. Our job is to serve them and do whatever we can to make them succeed.
