About Patagon
Patagon was born with a mission to pave the way for start ups and middle market companies to create value for its stakeholders, assisting with strategic direction, providing quality information and insights into the market trends and possible strategic moves, catalyzing the processes to unlock value and putting these companies in a position to take advantage of windows of opportunity that open from time to time.
Patagon Partners is a Brazilian company with extensive knowledge of the economic reality that middle market companies operate.
We know the idiosyncrasies of competiton, tax and regulatory environment that those businesses faces and we know the latent potential of those in South America, especially outside the big cities.
For this reason, we serve companies throughout Latin America, in areas that we believe have potential in a given time, in order to serve as a "bridge" of young and middle market companies to large players and investors in Brazil and abroad, helping the flow in both directions.
