Background
Rubens Medrano Filho is a São Paulo–based economist and investor, and a Founding Partner of Triple Seven Investments (also branded as Triple Seven Accelerator, on the domain 777.investments), an early-stage investment group he helped launch in 2014. Before moving into venture investing, he spent roughly 24 years at Makeni Chemicals — a Brazilian chemical distribution and formulation company serving construction, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, paints, pulp and paper, and other industrial segments — where he served as a partner and CFO, and is also referenced in a managing-director capacity.
That long operating and finance career underpins Triple Seven's model. The firm positions itself not as a passive check-writer but as an active partner that participates in portfolio companies' day-to-day work, from strategic planning through operations, aiming to create synergies between the invested company and Triple Seven's own assets and network. Medrano co-founded and runs the firm alongside partner Ana Paula Wey Perez.
Triple Seven is headquartered in São Paulo and concentrates on seed-stage Brazilian technology companies. Public aggregator records show a compact portfolio of roughly six to seven companies, with most of its documented investment activity clustered around the firm's earlier years (circa 2014–2015). The São Paulo phone number and 777.investments email align with the firm's Brazilian base.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests primarily at the seed stage in Brazil-based startups.
- Sector focus spans SaaS / application software, e-commerce, consumer, retail, enterprise applications, and services.
- Emphasizes a hands-on, operator-led approach — per the firm's own description, "active participation on the company's daily activities, from strategic planning to operations, to increase the synergies between the invested company and Triple Seven's assets."
- Brings finance and industrial-operating experience (decades in chemicals as CFO/partner) rather than a pure-tech background, suggesting a preference for founders open to close, operational involvement.
- Check size not publicly disclosed.
