Martin Lima joined Indicator Capital at the start of Fund I and helped structure Fund II, while also founding Emerging VC Fellows, the largest VC community in Latin America, and spending nearly a decade connecting Brazil and Silicon Valley through his engineering and Berkeley MBA background. He has also worked closely with OpenAI in Brazil—interviewing its political affairs lead, hosting its infrastructure team at Berkeley, and speaking at OpenAI's first Portuguese-language event—while arguing that Brazil's service-heavy economy, green energy, and strong ChatGPT adoption make it an especially promising market for AI.

Notable Investments
Indicator Capital is the largest fund in Latin America focused on IoT, investing across infrastructure, hardware, software, AI, and connectivity for Brazilian deep-tech startups, and it operates from both São Paulo and Silicon Valley to help these companies expand into the US market. It also stands out for its backers—including BNDES, Qualcomm Ventures, and companies like Lenovo, Motorola, Telefónica, Banco do Brasil, and Multilaser—and for investing in harder, real-world technology areas like industrial AI, edge AI for utility infrastructure, and blockchain for environmental asset management, rather than sticking to typical app-based startups.
