João Silva

João is the deal engine. As Investment Director at Buenavista Equity Partners, he did 23 venture deals end-to-end — sourcing, diligence, structuring, closing, board seats, the whole thing — screening 3,000+ companies to get there. He sat on boards, rolled up his sleeves with founders on go-to-market and fundraising, and built real pattern recognition across Pre-Seed to Growth. With a physics-and-engineering background layered on top of finance and the CFA, João speaks both founder and spreadsheet — exactly what you want backing DeepTech.
