Nuno Goncalves Pedro is the founder and Managing Partner of Chamaeleon, an early-stage venture capital firm in San Francisco that employs quantitative methodologies, AI, and a proprietary data platform called Mantis to operate like a quant hedge fund. His investment thesis targets Series Seed and Series A startups globally, with a focus on consumer and consumer-like sectors such as gaming, social, consumer software, consumer hardware, and horizontal SaaS. While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly detailed, Chamaeleon’s model emphasizes technology-augmented processes across the entire venture management lifecycle. Notable portfolio companies from his prior firm Strive Capital include App Annie, Gusto, Rubrik, DraftKings, and Robinhood, with several achieving IPOs. Pedro distinguishes himself through his co-hosting of the top 2.5% globally ranked podcast “Tech Deciphered” and his creation of the “Rejection & Adversity as a path to Growth” methodology. He is also recognized for framing Chamaeleon as “the RenTech of VC” due to its factor-analysis-driven approach borrowed from public-market investing.
