Homebrew Leads BRL14m Seed Round for Brazilian Digital Bank Z1 (em português)

May 12, 2021
Homebrew Invests in Z1

Homebrew led a BRL14m seed round for Z1, a Brazilian digital bank for teenagers, with participation from Clocktower Technology Ventures, Soma Ventures, Rebel, Goodwater, Gaingels and Mantis, a VC fund formed by The Chainsmokers. Z1 was founded by Joao Pedro Thompson (Itau BBA), Thiago Achatz (Rappi), Matheus Craveiro (Pagar.me) Sophie Secaf (Box 1824).

(Brazil Journal) – A maioria dos bancos tenta conquistar o cliente ali na faixa dos 20 anos — idade em que (com alguma sorte) ele passa a ter salário e condições para tomar um empréstimo e/ou ter um cartão de crédito.

Os fundadores da Z1 tiveram uma ideia para sair na frente da concorrência: que tal antecipar a janela em dez anos, capturando o cliente quando ele ainda não tem idade pra dirigir nem beber?

“As pessoas dicilmente mudam de banco ao longo da vida, então queremos adquirir esse cliente cedo para que ele continue com a gente por muito tempo,” diz João Pedro Thompson, um ex-investment banker do Itaú BBA que fundou a Z1, o banco para quem passa o dia no TikTok.
