Founders
are builders

Our role is to ensure the builders we back always have the kind of support we wish we had when we were building ourselves. We embrace the journey alongside them, step by step, brick by brick.

The companies behind the Builders

Investment stage

Pre-seed

Head quarters

São Paulo, Brazil

Pipo’s platform allow clients to buy and manage health care benefits and was designed to provide the best experience to HR/employees while providing a new distribution channel for health providers. With Pipo, it is possible to buy and manage health plans, dental plans, primary care, and wellness in a single platform.

For context, health care is the second-largest corporate expense for every company in Brazil, only behind payroll. Surprisingly, even though companies spend millions on health benefits, they are still purchasing them from traditional brokers that don't bring additional value despite having a 40% EBITDA margin.

The company’s strategy is to disrupt this vast market (estimated at BRL 480B) by leveraging technology and data to fight poor service, bureaucracy, and opaqueness while also bringing more efficiency to the system as a whole.

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.
