    Brazilian managers considering starting a fundraising campaign abroad must consider the long and challenging journey ahead. Of the global allocation committed to private equity and venture capital funds in recent years, less than 1% has been allocated to Brazilian funds. International investors have gradually reduced relationships with new managers, concentrating ever-higher volumes among a smaller number of managers. Considering this scenario, the inBrazil program was created to facilitate dialogue between qualified international investors and Brazilian managers, supporting managers in this arduous process of raising foreign funds.
