Invus Opportunities made a R$54m investment in Brazilian edtech Descomplica, with participation from previous investors Valor Capital, Amadeus Capital and Social Capital. 

(Press Release) O Descomplica, maior empresa de ensino digital do Brasil, acaba de participar de sua 4ª rodada de investimentos e recebeu um novo aporte de R$ 54 milhões. O fundo norte-americano Invus Opportunities liderou o aporte e foi acompanhado pela Amadeus Capital Partner, Grupo Valor Capital e Social Capital Partnership – que renovaram o investimento. Com essa quantia a startup alcança um marco histórico para o mercado de educação e tecnologia com um valor de investimento jamais alcançado pelo setor no Brasil.

“É extremamente importante termos por perto fundos de investimento que acreditam no negócio. Os investidores, além do capital, aportam experiência em educação e tecnologia, ajudando na tomada de decisões estratégicas e no planejamento do crescimento da empresa. Atrair o interesse de fundos do Vale do Silício que já haviam investido anteriormente é mais um aspecto que nos indica estarmos no caminho certo”, destaca Marco Fisbhen, CEO do Descomplica.

O investimento permitirá a expansão rápida da plataforma de ensino para novas categorias para além de aulas pré-vestibular, incluindo reforço escolar, reforço em disciplinas de Ensino Superior e concursos públicos. Há também a previsão de dobrar o número de funcionários dentro dos próximos dois anos (hoje são aproximadamente 200) e, consequentemente, aumentar o espaço de escritório. Assim, o Descomplica caminha para se tornar a primeira instituição 100% digital em larga escala do país.

Com esta nova rodada o total captado pela startup desde 2012 chega a quase R$ 100 milhões.
