big_bets is a fund that invests exclusively in software-intensive companies, that is, in companies built around code and data. There is a very important belief behind everything we do: we believe that the destiny of every atom is to become an electron. And precisely when an atom is turning into an electron is when the grand investment opportunities emerge. Think about it, this occurred with media (all the money that once flowed into the atoms of magazines, newspapers, radios, and TVs is now in the electrons of social networks, search engines, e-commerces, etc.), with financial products (in the past, banks had a branch on every corner, but today theres a branch in everyones pocket), with software (the older generation will recall buying software CDs at newsstands or having numerous servers within companies, today much of this is in the cloud), and with entertainment (no need to mention that books, music, and films have become apps on your phone) and so forth. Its precisely for this reason that our investment thesis is centered on identifying the largest industries currently transitioning from atoms to electrons and investing in and backing the entrepreneurs who are best equipped to accelerate this transformation. Therefore, our investments are highly agnostic, covering areas like financial services (Conta Simples, Ume, and Justos), identity (Unico), pharmaceutical industry (Menten AI and Pepper Bio), diagnostics (Huna), media (Festalab, Prota, and Newtail), primary education (Studdy), energy distribution (Lemon), devtools (Lazy AI, DataMilk, NuMind, Croct), among others.

InvestReal is a data-driven real estate marketplace connecting investors with developers in Qualified Opportunity Zone projects, supported by artificial intelligence. Our platform allows accredited investors to evaluate listed QOZ projects with standardized and transparent metrics, and invest at the project level with the developer partner to mitigate the inefficiency of blind pool funds and crowdfunding models. Data analytics is crucial in validating QOZ investments as OZs are lower-income census tracts, coupled with the long life of QOZ funds. Our proprietary machine learning algorithms consolidate and process expansive data sets into digestible market health indices in a comprehensive dashboard display. The user-friendly interface includes our proprietary InvestReal OZ Score, an indexed scoring algorithm for all 8,700 OZs, based on 15+ factors that helps predict future growth potential and long-term viability. Also included are interactive maps, detailed trends and insights, 100+ rating metrics and the capability to custom-rank OZs based on selected factors. Do you want to know more?
