Project Profiles

We selectively engage with opportunities that are investment-ready, strategically positioned, and led by capable teams. Below is a general overview of the types of opportunities we evaluate.

🟦 A. Tech & Venture-Backed Companies

🟧 B. Brownfield Real Assets, Shovel-ready Projects

🟩 C. Greenfield & Development-Stage Projects

🟪 D. Strategic Market Entry, Expansion, Franchise, Brand roll-outs

🟨 E. Structured Credit & Legal Opportunities

🟦 Track A: Tech & Venture-Backed Companies

Venture-Backed Growth

We work with technology-driven businesses that have achieved product-market fit and are entering phases of commercial expansion. These companies typically have 6–12+ months of revenue traction, a scalable model, and a clear strategy for institutional alignment or strategic growth.

We prioritize B2B platforms with real-world application, strong governance, and relevance in underserved or emerging markets. We generally support companies generating at least USD $50K–$75K in monthly recurring revenue (MRR), with a focus on those demonstrating sound unit economics and platform scalability.

Sectors: Ag-tech, fintech, SaaS, artificial intelligence, infrastructure tech, energy transition, digitized services, etc.
Ticket Size: USD $3M – U$12M+

🟧 Track B: Alternatives & Real Assets

1. Brownfield Expansion

Projects with operational infrastructure already in place, seeking capital to expand capacity, modernize systems, or enhance productivity. We work with sponsors who bring feasibility validation, permitting, and operational control.

Sectors: Energy, logistics, industrial parks, manufacturing, utilities
Typical Ticket Size: USD $15M – U$150M+

2. Acquisition & Exit-Stage Capital

Strategic opportunities to acquire, recapitalize, or exit high-value assets or businesses. This includes structured buyouts, sale-leasebacks, and long-term repositioning plays with institutional alignment and defined payout scenarios.

Sectors: Logistics, data centers, energy assets, infrastructure-linked businesses
Typical Ticket Size: USD $20M – U$250M+

🟩 Track C: Select Greenfield Opportunities

Structured Entry into Early-Stage Real Assets

While our core focus is on operating and brownfield assets, we selectively support greenfield projects where Lagoa plays a strategic role in early structuring, particularly when there is a credible operator, land control, and a clearly defined capital stack.

These situations often involve institutional capital acquiring the land and funding development, backed by a long-term lease commitment from an end-user (e.g., a data center, logistics group, or industrial operator). We prioritize opportunities where value is not driven by the land alone, but by the strength of the lease, the credibility of the counterparties, and the enforceability of the structure.

Typical scenarios include sale-leaseback or build-to-suit agreements with committed tenants, capital efficiency, and aligned incentives across all parties involved.

Sectors: Data centers, logistics hubs, ag-industrial platforms, specialized infrastructure
Typical Ticket Size: USD $15M – U$100M+

🟪 Track D: Strategic Market Expansion

We work with international companies, growth-stage brands, and regional platforms seeking to enter or expand in Brazil and other select LatAm markets. Our focus is on proven business models that require localization, franchise rollout, or capital-backed commercial growth.

These engagements may involve direct investment, JV structuring, operational upgrades, or sale-leaseback real estate strategies through brick and mortar expansion.
Sectors: Retail, food & beverage, consumer health, hospitality, etc.
Ticket Size: USD $20M–$150M+

🟨 Track E: Structured Credit & Legal Receivables

Judicial & Contractual Assets with Defined Resolution Pathways

We support institutional engagement with a selective pipeline of credit and legal receivables backed by government obligations, enforceable rulings, or well-documented legal claims. These opportunities are evaluated for legal clarity, documentation strength, and cash flow visibility. Our focus is on downside protection, partner credibility, and strategic alignment with institutional capital.

Precatórios

We evaluate federal and select state-level judicial receivables (precatórios) with strong legal standing and historically predictable payment timelines. These claims are backed by public sector obligations and may serve as non-correlated alternatives for institutional investors seeking legal asset exposure.

Repayment Term: Up to 48 months
Typical Transaction Size: USD $15M – U$100M
Asset Types: Credit rights, distressed receivables, restructured claims, secured and unsecured judicial debt

Arbitration Award Monetization

We assess enforceable arbitration awards with a clear path to recovery. These cases typically involve high-quality counter-parties, including state-owned enterprises or infrastructure consortiums, and are supported by strong legal documentation, including detailed damage assessments and enforceability analysis.

Minimum Award Size: USD U$25M
Expected Resolution: Within 24 months

Legal Fee Financing / Litigation Funding

We facilitate non-recourse capital for legal costs tied to high-value commercial disputes and arbitration. Funding may be used for legal counsel, arbitration expenses, and associated costs, with return structures based on successful outcomes.

Funding Range: USD $2M – $10M
Return Model: Success-based, linked to outcome or settlement
Key Qualifiers: Counter-parties with proven capacity to pay, recoveries with minimal risk, and clear budget accountability.

Case Stages:

  • Preferred: Early-stage, including pre-filing, where funders can help shape the strategy and support upfront costs.

  • Open to: Mid-stage, during hearings or while awaiting a decision.

Future Fee Entitlements & Special Situations

We selectively evaluate anticipated receivables tied to consortium settlements, unresolved arbitration claims, or pending fee entitlements. These are considered special situations and require credible counter-parties, legal structuring, and strategic oversight to qualify.

Cash Flow Horizon: Maximum of 3 years
Minimum Funding Size: USD $2M

Serious opportunities deserve serious execution.
