About DGF Investimentos
DGF Investimentos is a São Paulo venture capital firm that its LinkedIn page and several investor databases date to 2001, though CB Insights and Tracxn list 1998. Crunchbase names Sidney Chameh as founder and founding partner and Frederico Greve as managing partner. Henrique Uehara and Henrique Ferreira are also listed as partners. The firm's own site says it has invested in B2B software since 2001 and runs a concentrated portfolio of 10 to 14 companies per fund.
DGF's eighth fund targets software companies that apply some form of artificial intelligence to their business, according to NeoFeed's coverage of the fund. Tractian, an industrial predictive maintenance company using AI-equipped sensors, is one example: DGF invested at seed and followed in later rounds. Maggu AI, which sells an AI copilot to pharmacy assistants, closed a US$4.4 million seed round that DGF led, valuing the company at about US$27.6 million according to Latam Republic.
DGF invests in seed and Series A rounds. NeoFeed reports an initial check of US$2 million to US$3 million for fund 8, with reserves for follow-on investments. The firm's site says it leads rounds of US$1 million to US$3 million and takes a board seat.
