Deal Case: Valor Capital Group | Dolado In October 2020, Valor Capital led a USD2.2m seed round for Dolado, a Brazil-based company that provides micro-enterprises and SMEs with access to the technology tools to manage their inventories, improve sales through a digital presence, source products through a B2B marketplace, process payments and gain access to credit.
With Valor Capital's support, Dolado served SMEs from 128 cities in Brazil, delivering over 138,000 leads for its affiliated retailers. Merchants listed over 68,000 products on Dolado, reaching over 420,000 online visits despite a practically null marketing expenditure.
Dolado has structured a product offering focused on positively impacting and empowering entrepreneurs from underserved regions and vulnerable backgrounds. The company is currently one of the main supporters of Instituto Responsa, a Brazilian initiative focused on non-discrimination of people impacted by the justice system. Approximately 15% of Dolado’s operational workforce was previously incarcerated. LAVCA's Eighth Annual Latin American Private Capital ESG Deal Awards awarded Valor Capital Group a 2022 Social Responsibility Award for their investment.
