A new chapter begins. After years immersed in the world of fitness and technology, I decided to take the next step: founding Whaleshark Capital. WhaleShark was born with the ambition to consolidate the Brazilian fitness market — but the real opportunity is to turn it into a living platform, connecting data, technology, and human behavior. Our goal is to build, together with our amazing investors and partners, a new wellness and fitness platform in Latin America, where every workout, transaction, and datapoint fuels efficiency, engagement, and well-being. More than a fund — it’s a movement. And it’s just getting started. Special thanks to everyone supporting (and challenging) this journey as partners, team members, investors, advisors and mentors.
