CRP is a pioneer in the activity of Venture Capital and Private Equity in Brazil, having started its operations in 1981. This activity consists of investing in emerging companies to make them grow rapidly, and consequently obtain a capital gain to reward its investors. From the initial focus in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, CRP has expanded its geographical scope to the rest of the southern region of Brazil, as well as the state of São Paulo. Throughout the years, CRP has made investments in outstanding emerging companies from various sectors. For their entrepreneurship, innovation and growth potential, many of these companies became leaders in their field. This is a result of CRP’s manner of operating, which consists of not only providing the necessary funds, but also offering to the invested companies a range of actions to support them in strategical, financial and institutional matters; resulting therefore in a real partnership. © Companhia Riograndense de Participações
