Base Partners is a growth equity and venture capital firm headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2016–2017 by Fernando Spnola and backed by influential Brazilian business owners [1][3]. The firm invests globally in leading technology companies, with a focused thesis on software-as-a-service, cloud tech, and DevOps sectors across Central and South America, particularly Brazil and Latin America [1][4]. It targets both seed-stage investments—where it aims to be the first check via its “Base Bird Dog” program—and growth-stage companies scaling globally [5][7]. While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly detailed, the firm emphasizes partnership and long-term support for founders [1][5]. Notable portfolio companies are not explicitly named in available public sources, limiting verification of specific investments [1][3][4]. Base Partners distinguishes itself through its “Base Bird Dog” approach to seed investing, inviting founders without scout connections to reach out directly at birddog@basepar.com [5]. The firm publishes public writing on its investing philosophy, including its Medium article introducing the seed strategy in Brazil and Latin America [
