About Us

Lagoa Group is a boutique cross-border firm that prepares, structures, and secures capital for advanced-stage ventures, acquisitions, and real-asset or credit-based transactions.
We specialize by level and execution quality — not by sector.

The Lagoa Group advises high-impact businesses and projects seeking capital, clarity, and trusted execution. We believe that when a project is well-prepared, capital follows. Our role is to ensure that the fundamentals, structure, and narrative are aligned so investors can move with confidence.

Born from decades of cross-border experience, Lagoa bridges the language, cultural, and operational gaps that often separate local opportunity from global capital.
What began as a small advisory has evolved into a discreet, high-performance boutique, helping founders, operators, and asset owners turn potential into performance.

Our ethos is built on discipline and diplomacy. We bring institutional standards to entrepreneurial environments while maintaining the agility and trust that true partnerships demand.
We act not as intermediaries, but as long-term partners, aligning interests, simplifying complexity, and building relationships that last beyond the deal.

For us, success is measured by preparation, integrity, and follow-through, values that define every engagement and every result.

Our Focus

Lagoa operates at the intersection of capital, structure, and execution, transforming complex opportunities into institutional-grade transactions. We focus on opportunities where disciplined preparation, governance, and capital design generate measurable impact across sectors:

🟦 Growth & Aquisition Capital - Strategic capital for high-performing companies, operating platforms, and asset-backed ventures pursuing scale, M&A, roll-ups, or recapitalization. We focus on opportunities across the secondary and tertiary sectors with clear expansion or consolidation theses.

🟩 Real Assets & Infrastructure - We prioritize brownfield-stage or operational-ready projects in logistics, energy, ag-industrial, and digital infrastructure. Our focus is on ventures that have advanced beyond the permitting phase, enabling structured capital solutions that align with institutional underwriting and execution readiness.

🟪 Structured Credit & Special Situations - Complex transactions involving receivables, arbitral awards, precatórios, distressed assets, and litigation-linked recoveries. We specialize in mapping liquidity paths, structuring risk, and facilitating off-balance-sheet monetization for specialized legal or financial claims.

Our Approach

Every successful engagement follows a defined path grounded in readiness, precision, and execution. We focus on quality over quantity, working selectively with projects that demonstrate clear potential to close efficiently and perform at institutional standards.

1. Qualification

We begin by assessing the opportunity’s fundamentals, verifying documentation, structure, governance, and commercial viability.
Our goal is to confirm readiness, identify any gaps, and define the optimal capital strategy before engagement begins.

🟦 🟩 For operating, growth or industrial projects, this includes:
• Capital Structure — Target raise size, structure (equity, debt, or hybrid), and founder participation.
• Use of Proceeds — Clear allocation of capital for expansion, acquisition, working capital, or restructuring.
• Readiness Milestones — Feasibility, traction, licenses, and documentation confirming execution viability.

🟪 For credit and special situations, readiness is defined by:
• Asset Quality — Underlying receivables, judgments, or instruments forming the basis of value.
• Documentation Integrity — Legal enforceability, counterparty standing, and claim validation.
• Recovery Structure — Collateral, guarantees, or contractual mechanisms that support liquidity and protection.

2. Structuring

Once qualified, we organize financial, legal, and operational elements into a coherent, investor-ready framework.
This includes capital strategy design, transaction modeling, and stakeholder alignment to ensure consistency from presentation through execution.

3. Positioning

We craft the institutional narrative, integrating strategy, documentation, and data into a cohesive, credible investment story.
Our objective is to ensure each opportunity communicates clarity, confidence, and measurable value to the right partners.

4. Closing

We coordinate next steps and relationships toward a successful close, maintaining structure, communication, and discipline throughout.
Every mandate concludes with a tangible outcome: a transaction positioned to perform in front of serious capital.
