Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Canary · Joined 2016
View Live Interactive Profile →Marcos Toledo co-founded Canary in São Paulo in 2016, building it into one of the most active early-stage investors in Latin America - the firm says it sees more than 90% of venture opportunities across the region and has analyzed more than 6,000 companies to date, investing in over 30% of those that later raised a Series A in Brazil. Under his leadership, Canary has backed 135-plus companies including three unicorns, one IPO, and 11 acquisitions, with Méliuz's public listing and continued involvement in 99 and Clara among its clearest proof points. Toledo has consistently framed Canary's role as more than capital - the firm positions itself as a genuine 'co-founder' to its portfolio companies, providing hands-on support across hiring, technology, business development, and fundraising.
