André Street, founder of Stone, has built a portfolio of investments in startups worth nearly $200 million, making him likely the largest individual VC investor in Brazil. He has invested in or been directly involved with around 40 startups, including Brex, Cora, and On Running, with about 20 still in his portfolio. Street's investment approach involves not only providing funding but also offering his time and expertise to help founders define their product, recruit talent, and develop their commercial strategy.
He seeks investments that could be worth at least $20 million within three to five years and have the potential to return 10 to 20 times the invested capital.
