“Canary actually co-founded Alice with us. They have always believed in my capabilities as a founder, even before I had the idea. They also introduced me to Gui, my co-founder.”

“Canary invested in Buser as something less than a PowerPoint. We had done 1 trip which had gone wrong, and there was a court order shutting down out operations nationwide. On the pitch deck we said: we know how to reduce the prices of intercity bus travel by 50%, but the regulation is rigged in the incumbent's favor, which has a strong lobby and will litigate very hard. 70% of the seed money was earmarked for lawyers. Somehow they decided to bet on us. And all along the way Canary has been extremely helpful. We are proud of what we have built so far and positive we can fix this industry, generate returns and set an example that betting against crony capitalism can be profitable in Brazil”

“We’re extremely happy with our relationship with Canary. They joined us since our first round and have been one of our most valuable partners throughout. From putting together one of the most active communities of LatAm founders, to helping us actively with our go to market, and recruiting key leaders in Brazil, Canary has been an ideal partner that helped put us in a breakout trajectory.”

“Canary always puts the founders and the companies first. Unparalleled knowledge of going from 0 to 1. ”

“I still remember the day I had a cup of coffee with Marcos Toledo, in pursuit of Gupy’s seed investment, back in 2017. At that time, we as founders had our salaries Frozen for 4 months to be able to pay the team and Gupy was with a super-tight cash flow. I couldn't believe it when a few days later Florian Hagenbuch called me to make the proposal. If we hadn't closed the deal with Canary at that time, most likely we would have gone bankrupt. Three and a half years later we had multiplied more than a hundred times our revenue and valuation, increased our users by more than 10 million times, and our teams more than 10 times ”

“Canary's leading role in the Brazilian entrepreneurship ecosystem will still be studied in history books by future generations. It's amazing to see the state of this market today compared to what it was 5years ago, and the role you played in raising this bar. It's been a pleasure and an honor to be on that rocket with you”

“We decided to create Canary because there was no early-stage investor with an operator mindset in LatAm -- a fund that we wished had existed when we started our first company, Printi. So having Canary partner with us at Loft is an absolute no-brainer”

“Canary was our first institutional investor, and I'm sure of that as one of the best choices in Pier history. Canary is probusiness, easygoing, supportive in critical matters and it has a great founders community to help our journey.”

“There's nothing more rewarding than seeing the Brazilian ecosystem so developed. Thank you for trusting us from the beginning. Nothing better than a chance encounter at WeWork… ”

“We have made a point of always doing business with people we admire. We chose Canary as our investor because of the people that are part of the firm”
