Bruno Yoshimura is a venture capital investor at ONEVC who built and sold Brazilian marketplace companies including Kekanto and Delivery Direto, giving him deep operator experience in local tech before moving into investing. He focuses on macro-driven investment themes like agtech and fintech infrastructure, studying Asian e-commerce models to identify business patterns that can work in Latin America while creating educational content in Portuguese for Brazilian founders.

• Deep interest in practical cloud and infrastructure cost optimization for early stage companies. A major recurring theme is helping founders reduce technical overhead, such as recommending serverless architectures and microservices to eliminate idle time so developers can focus entirely on coding. Specific advice includes trimming data early in pipelines and leveraging spot instances to dramatically reduce server costs.
• Strong focus on the Brazilian and Latin American tech ecosystems with particular enthusiasm for fintech and agriculture technology. Regional nuances are highly valued, as seen when pointing out that Brazilian agtech startups have a unique advantage because the country produces two crops a year, allowing machine learning risk models to learn twice as fast as those in other markets.
• Active involvement in recruiting and team building for portfolio companies right from the ideation and pre seed phases. Highlighting open roles is a constant habit, such as seeking top senior engineers with data experience for a business to business insurtech or finding technical leads for a Brazilian payments fintech cofounded by former McKinsey and Rappi operators.
• Fascination with artificial intelligence and its practical application in workflow software and vertical platforms. The evolution of the internet landscape is a key area of attention, specifically how artificial intelligence is currently reshaping web browsers and creating a massive new wave of innovation for startups.
• Appreciation for a hands on technical background and a builder mentality. Having coded since the late nineties, there is a clear preference for building custom solutions rather than relying on standard tools, exemplified by the decision to kill the venture firm's standard customer relationship software to instead build a custom internal operating system from scratch.
