The startups Tribo Superfoods, ForestiFi and Impact Not a Bank, invested in 2024 by AMAZ Aceleradora de Impacto, participated in the second meeting of the “Acceleration Journey”, held in São Paulo, in partnership with SBSA Advogados and CIPÓ Consultoria. 

    Since 2022, the accelerator has been providing customized training so that portfolio businesses can strengthen their impact theses and become more competitive for future investment rounds and to face market challenges. In general, the acceleration journey focuses on commercial management strategies, communication, relationships with communities and suppliers, impact measurement and management, and investor acquisition. 

“The objective is to support them so that they are better prepared to deal with investment rounds and evolution as a whole, especially in aspects of formalization, planning and business development”, concludes Rafael Moreira, AMAZ selection and acceleration leader. 

This was the second meeting of the day with impact businesses that operate in rural Amazonia. The businesses will continue with individual activities, planned according to the specific needs of each enterprise, until November of this year. 

The SBSA, a pioneering law firm specializing in the Third Sector, is collaborating on this issue. The partnership has been going on for a few years now and, according to lawyer and partner Aline Souza, this meeting was yet another action to strengthen the impact ecosystem in the Amazon region. 

“We have been partners with AMAZ since its creation. We were delighted to receive the current acceleration journey, in which we presented content on tax matters, impact-oriented governance and a map of legal terms that need to be prioritized, helping them to position themselves increasingly better in the market and mitigate risks. There was a very important return on the acceptance and incorporation of the learnings,” says the specialist. 

Adding value to the meeting, AMAZ had the participation of CIPÓ Consultoria, a startup specialized in providing services in strategic management of regenerative businesses. The representation was made by Fabio Vernalha and André Saab, who worked on themes of strategy for impact, definition of channels and pricing for each of the businesses. 

Acceleration Workshop 

Over the course of three days, the immersion prioritized strategic direction for business expansion and the formalization of socio-environmental impact, through networking, lectures, workshops, legal consultancy and individual meetings with entrepreneurs. 

Some of the topics covered were: portfolio strategies, brand positioning, pricing, customer experience, tax reform trends, compliance, impact governance and legal obligations in contracts. 

Maurício Pantoja, CEO of Tribo Superfoods, participated in the event. The startup is dedicated to the production and export of açaí, cupuaçu and cocoa purees, impacting more than 340 families in communities in Igarapé-Miri and Abaetetuba, in the state of Pará. 

“Today we had a day full of learning that involved an initial theoretical part, which was very well made tangible by the SBSA team, bringing very critical and important concepts to our business”, shared the entrepreneur. 

Gabriel Ribenboim, CEO and co-founder of Impact Not a Bank — a platform specializing in financial solutions for socio-environmental ventures and projects in the Amazon — shares that one of the things he learned was paying due attention to customer demands. 

“The AMAz acceleration process has offered not only technical and strategic support, but also a deep immersion in the Amazon sociobioeconomy ecosystem, allowing us to refine our offering and our business model based on the real demands and potential of the region. In the highlight of this second meeting, with a focus on fair contracts in the Amazon, we strengthen our commitment to caring in our relationships with our customers,” the entrepreneur points out.  

Glauco Aguiar, co-founder of ForestiFi, a platform specialized in tokenizing Amazonian biodiversity products and connecting production systems to sustainable markets, highlights that knowledge is very valuable for business growth. 

“Accelerating with AMAZ has been fundamental. Access to high-value mentors and strategic connections with the portfolio opened doors and accelerated decisions. The legal, strategic and impact knowledge paths are extremely assertive. The immersion in São Paulo was a great example of this: a week of dense content on strategy, pricing, fair contracts and tax reform, with individual mentoring that solved specific bottlenecks in our operation,” he says.

Model C, an essential tool in business modeling developed through a partnership between Move Social and Sense-Lab, has gained a “version 2.0”. AMAZ, the largest impact accelerator in the North Region, has been using the methodology since the beginning of its trajectory to support forest entrepreneurs in the construction of strategies that generate real impact. There are more than 17 accelerated businesses and 14 invested, which together help in the preservation of more than 633 thousand hectares of forest and support 750 families in 56 municipalities in the Amazon.

The new version was launched during Impacta Mais 2025, held in March with the support of AMAZ, Grupo Boticário, Fundo Vale, Instituto Sabin and ICE. The C Model contributes to the modeling and strategic management of businesses, both to understand the intentions of businesses in the ideation stage and to build a diagnostic image of those already in operation. To this end, it integrates the Theory of Change with the Business Model Canvas.

Mariano Cenamo, CEO of the accelerator and founder of the Amazon Conservation and Sustainable Development Institute (Idesam), was one of those responsible for the review. He shares a little more about how the accelerator uses the tool.

“MOVE and Sense-Lab have been extremely important partners for AMAZ since the beginning of our strategy development up until the present moment. […]. On our side, it has been very good for planning the business acceleration process, that is, we apply it in the pre-acceleration workshop, when a diagnosis and planning is carried out with the businesses that are in the final phase prior to the pitch day, where we make the investment decision, and there we can have a good overview of the business model and the construction of the impact thesis. The businesses finish the pre-acceleration workshop, the last phase of selecting those that we will accelerate, presenting the Model C,” explains Cenamo.

The versatility of the tool, which is also useful at other times in the process of accelerating and monitoring business, and extensive dialogue with the ends in the construction of more improved versions were also highlighted by the manager as a differential in Model C.

“It is a very useful tool that we want to continue using and improving. We have even suggested some points for further development of Model C, which as the business advances we feel can be used to go into fundamental details such as, for example, governance strategy and tactical-operational plan”, adds the CEO of AMAZ.

The accelerator has 21 impact businesses in its portfolio. One of them is MOMA, which develops natural cosmetics from original inputs from the Amazon rainforest, contributing to the preservation and regeneration of the ecosystem's natural resources.

Founder Vivian Chun shares that the tool has been used since the beginning of activities, also helping in planning the next steps.

“It is a tool that helped us comprehensively design the entire business in its different aspects – the market, the production chain, what we offer as a differential, how we are compensated, in relation to the impact as well, what is the soul of the business, what we want to achieve as a purpose, etc. […]. This perspective that the C Model provides is very important to revalidate what is making sense for the business, what strategies we followed or did not follow, whether the partners are firm, whether the result we expect is consistent with what happened”, explains the founder of MOMA.

Revision
The revision of the model was motivated by changes in the field of socio-environmental impact since its launch, in the language and methodological approach, adaptation for more individual uses and for more complex businesses. As explained by Antonio Ribeiro, consulting partner at Move Social.

“We started by listening to people in the impact field, seeking to gather input on the practice with Model C. With this input, we carried out a broad review of the tool, and arrived at a preliminary proposal and guidelines for testing. Then came the testing phase with stakeholders, in different territories, seeking to identify possibilities for additional adjustments. Finally, we arrived at this version 2.0, which is now public and accessible”, he details.

More than 500 impact businesses, 14 accelerators, 10 investors and catalysts, eight universities and at least ten training courses currently use Model C in Brazil.

Version 2.0 of the tool is available for download, free of charge, in Portuguese, Spanish and soon also in English: www.modeloc.co.

AMAZ Aceleradora de Impacto is participating in the “Inova Amazônia Summit”, which ends this Friday, the 23rd. In the track that is addressing topics on technology and information, we will present socio-environmental impact solutions that are underway.

The event takes place in Macapá (AP) and brought together several actors from the ecosystem over three days to discuss solutions with socio-environmental impact.

Isis Arébalo, New Business Analyst, will represent AMAZ in the panel “Everything new again: The Power of Local Communities to Generate Innovations and Impact on the Forest”, which will be held in the Macapá auditorium, at 5:30 pm this Friday.

The event will present practical examples of innovation led by Amazonian communities that combine traditional knowledge and technologies to respond to the region's social, economic and environmental challenges.

Isis Arébalo highlights that the creation of public policies and partnerships with companies can boost community-based businesses with a real impact on the forest, but those who live in the forest must take the lead.

“The importance of the topic lies precisely in recognizing that the sustainable development of the Amazon is only possible with the strengthening of those who live in and know the territory”, emphasizes the AMAZ analyst.

More about the event

The “Inova Amazônia Summit” is promoted by the Government of the State of Amapá, in partnership with the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae). Over three days, the event aims to bring together more than five thousand people, including students, investors, entrepreneurs, startups, experts and government representatives.

The program includes workshops, lectures and panels to discuss bioeconomy, innovation, tourism, traditional communities, investments, technology, impact entrepreneurship, social inclusion and other topics related to the development of the Amazon. Registration is free and can be done through the link: https://agenciaamapa.com.br/noticia/30417/sebraeap.beevent.com.br/evento/inova-amazonia-summit.

The selection process received hundreds of applications from around the world and was supported by leading organizations such as Microsoft Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact, ChangeNOW and Techstars. 

An approach that helps to keep the forest standing, through blockchain technology, and connects rural production systems to sustainable investment markets. This is the great differentiator of ForestiFi, a fintech that tokenizes Amazonian bioeconomy assets supported by AMAZ Aceleradora de Impacto, which was elected as one of the most innovative sustainability startups in the world by Change 100, the global campaign of We Make Change. 

The announcement was made during “ChangeNOW”, the largest global event for solutions for the planet, in Paris. The selection received hundreds of applications from around the world and was supported by leading organizations, such as Microsoft Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact and Techstars. The list of all the selected candidates is available on the website: www.wemakechange.org/change100. 

“This recognition comes to validate the work we have been doing with ForestiFi over just over a year of operation, in which we have developed this alternative investment mechanism in the bioeconomy production chains in the Amazon,” says co-founder Macaulay Abreu. 

Founded in 2023 in the state of Amazonas, the platform tokenizes Amazonian biodiversity products such as guarana and chestnuts and guarantees transparency, greater efficiency, lower costs and security in transactions. 

Forestifi offers a platform where investors can purchase sociobiodiversity asset tokens. The amounts directly benefit rural production systems and contribute to the recovery of degraded areas, while also earning interest for those who invested. 

Since the beginning of its work, the platform has already tokenized native cocoa, managed pirarucu and wild guarana, moving almost R$500 thousand. In April, in partnership with Zeno Nativo — another startup supported by AMAZ —, ForestiFi transformed 1,850 kilos of Amazonian nuts into digital assets, raising R$114.7 thousand that benefited more than 50 extractive families in the Acará River region (PA). 

As one of the Change 100 startups, the startup will be connected to strategic resources, support programs and a global network of more than 50,000 remote volunteers, including experts from companies such as Standard Chartered Bank, PA Consulting and Grundfos. In addition, ForestiFi is preparing to connect more investors to sociobiodiversity production systems. “Our focus is on expanding the number of available assets and facilitating access for new investors to these products, strengthening organizations through the purchase of tokens. In addition, by the end of this year, we intend to launch a new version of the platform, with new investment models focused on production chains”, adds Abreu. 

AMAZ support 

Since the beginning of 2025, ForestiFi has been one of the startups supported by AMAZ, the main accelerator of socio-environmental impact businesses operating in the Legal Amazon. Currently, the business is in the “Traction” phase, a period in which the company focuses on accelerating results in the market, such as attracting customers and increasing revenue. 

AMAZ operations leader Gabriela Santos praises the election as a milestone for the regional ecosystem. 

“We are generating impact at the cutting edge and, at the same time, being able to reinforce the bioeconomy as a vector of innovation in the Amazon. AMAZ and Idesam [Institute for Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Amazon] work to strengthen and shed light on solutions that are being developed locally and can be replicated as success stories, which requires continuous and close support in the long term, from investors and partners,” he highlights. 

About ForestiFi 

ForestiFi is an impact investment platform that connects investors to sustainable Amazon supply chains, using tokenization technology to ensure traceability, liquidity, and transparency. It has already structured tokens linked to products such as native cocoa, managed pirarucu, and wild guarana.

The AMAZ Impact Accelerator coordinated by Idesam will be at the 13th Congress of the Group of Institutes, Foundations and Companies (GIFE), the main event on philanthropy in Latin America, which this year welcomes 185 speakers, experts and leaders from the sector, civil society organizations and government representatives in more than 30 activities.  

The program starts this Wednesday (7) and runs until Friday (9) with the theme “Deconcentrate: power, knowledge and wealth”. 

Gabriela Santos, operations leader, will be AMAZ’s representative at the event. She will contribute to the panel “The Value of Standing Forests: Bioeconomy and a New Development Paradigm for People, Climate and Nature”, which will take place on Friday, the 9th, from 9 am to 10:30 am. 

“The Bioeconomy agenda is still emerging in the [philanthropy] sector. In the year of COP30 [30th United Nations Climate Change Conference], where all eyes are on the Amazon, our participation is of great importance to, first of all, occupy these spaces, bringing light to the climate emergency beyond adaptation actions, but as a call for mitigation. What can we do today to support and strengthen organizations that are already working in territories essential to the maintenance of our environmental, social and cultural riches in the Amazon”, explains the operations leader at Amaz. 

The panel was jointly designed by the Arapyaú Institute and the Climate and Society Institute (iCS), in order to convey the reality of the Amazon territory and how it is possible to engage beyond the South-Southeast axis. 

Other experts who work in the region will also be present: Cleiciane Marques, a riverside resident, mobilizer of the Chestnut Collective and executive analyst of the Iratapuru Fund; Braulina Baniwa, indigenous researcher of sociobioeconomy in the Amazon and co-author of the publication “Indigenous bioeconomy: ancestral knowledge and social technologies”; Hélia Félix, farmer and technical manager of the Cacauway chocolate factory; and Débora Passos, manager of Project Management and Strategic Planning at the Arapyaú Institute. 

Schedule  

During the three days, the program will include debates, panels and exchanges of experiences. Among the topics covered are: bioeconomy and traditional communities, tax reform and ISP, collaborative philanthropy and food systems, plural education, ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the power of Big Tech and the leading role of youth.  

One of the main personalities invited to the Congress, activist, filmmaker and philanthropist Abigail Disney spoke at the opening plenary “International situation and Brazilian context – after all, what kind of country do we want?”. At the age of 64, Abigail inherited a fortune of 10 million dollars left by her great-uncle Walt Disney at the age of 21. It is estimated that, of her current wealth of around 500 million dollars, she has donated more than 70 million dollars to causes related to vulnerable women.  

Highlighting the importance of women in society and in philanthropy, Abigail stated that Private Social Investment can, in a structured and coordinated manner, “change the reality of a country”, together with the capillarity of government actions. She also emphasized that in order to have “deconcentration of wealth and wisdom”, power cannot be limited only to those who have resources. “What if we all choose to live with the same importance?”, she reflected.

Edition highlighted the bioeconomy sector as a fundamental strategy for sustainable development in the Amazon  

The 105th Jaraqui Valley Community Meet Up was organized by Amaz Aceleradora de Impacto and took place at the Moinho Technology and Innovation Center, located within Nilton Lins University, and was attended by entrepreneurs, investors, institutions and enthusiasts from the startup sector. 

“Meet Up is a meeting designed to facilitate the exchange of ideas and generate genuine connections within the innovation ecosystem. With a light and uncomplicated format, it promotes more dynamic and assertive interactions between the different actors in this environment, stimulating the construction of synergies and collaborations”, explains Jaraqui Valley Community Leader, Isis Arébalo. 

One of the highlights of the program was the panel “Impact Connections: Challenges and Opportunities”, with the participation of Rafael Moreira, selection and acceleration leader at Amaz – a business accelerator of the Institute for Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Amazon (Idesam). On the occasion, he presented the 2025 Business Call, with applications open until Friday (04/25). The call for proposals and the form are available at link. 

For the past five years, Amaz has been supporting several businesses with a socio-environmental impact in the region. In 2024, it won the Jaraqui Graúdo award, a competition promoted by the Jaraqui Valley community, in the “Angel Investor” category. Currently, 19 ventures make up the accelerator’s portfolio. 

“This year, we celebrate 5 years of operations in the Amazon and, since the beginning, when we created the first hybrid fund, we have evaluated more than 500 potential businesses, accelerated 52 initiatives and invested directly in 18 businesses with socio-environmental impact. With this, more than a thousand families in 56 municipalities in the Amazon have benefited and we have also contributed to the conservation and/or restoration of 447 thousand hectares of native forest”, points out Gabriela Souza, Operations Leader. 

In addition to Rafael Moreira, Taiane Freitas, from PPBio, and Roma Chavez, from Impact Hub, also participated in the panel, expanding the dialogue on opportunities for early-stage businesses with a focus on the Rural Amazon. 

Bioeconomy: an expanding agenda 

Bioeconomy is one of the issues that has been gaining momentum when discussing sustainable development in the Amazon, with initiatives that preserve the forest while boosting production chains based on socio-biodiversity products, such as açaí, Brazil nuts, cupuaçu, cocoa, honey and natural oils. This system guarantees income and well-being for traditional riverside, indigenous, quilombola and extractive communities. 

“It is very gratifying to see that this is taking shape. We have the National Bioeconomy Plan (PNDBio), the State Bioeconomy Plan [of Amazonas], and the New Industry Brazil (NIB). We are very happy to be part of the initial discussions. And Idesam has always been a great partner, and more recently with Amaz, it has been helping to boost innovative businesses related to the bioeconomy in the state of Amazonas,” highlights Cleuciliz Magalhães, vice-rector of Postgraduate Studies, Research and Innovation at Nilton Lins University. 

There are challenges to be overcome, but the expert is confident in the evolution of the ecosystem, especially with the increased participation of universities that have been encouraging entrepreneurship through events, incubators and technological innovation centers. This is not only in Manaus, but throughout the region. 

“We have logistical issues, because being in the Amazon is different from being in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. Here, we face challenges in training these people much more quickly to understand this scenario of innovation and sustainable development. We are at an opportune moment to accelerate the process of innovation, entrepreneurship and issues related to the bioeconomy,” concluded the vice-rector of research and innovation.

In this Indigenous April, a month dedicated to valuing the stories, cultures, voices and identities of indigenous peoples, Amaz Aceleradora de Impacto celebrates together with Tucum the company's positive impact on the lives of 107 Indigenous Peoples. 

According to the 2022 Census by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), almost 1.7 million indigenous people live in the country, with an emphasis on the Legal Amazon, home to 867,000 of this number. In the largest tropical forest in the world, these populations preserve not only the ecosystem, but also ancient knowledge, ways of life and cultures. 

Currently, Tucum – one of the businesses in the Amaz Aceleradora de Impacto portfolio – connects more than 4,860 artisans from 107 indigenous peoples and traditional communities located in the Legal Amazon, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. The business also contributes to the conservation of more than 2.9 million hectares of forest. 

To achieve such impressive results, Tucum ensures that the amount paid by consumers is fairly transferred to the artisans who sell on the website. In addition, it offers training for indigenous leaders, with a focus on digital marketing, expanding the protagonism of artists. 

Brazil's first indigenous marketplace 

Founded by entrepreneur and indigenous activist Amanda Santana, Tucum has established itself as the first indigenous marketplace in Brazil. The idea was born after Amanda immersed herself in the Krahô territory, located between the states of Tocantins, Maranhão and Piauí, where she had direct contact with the crafts produced by indigenous women. 

In 2013, she founded Tucum's first physical store in the Santa Teresa neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Two years later, she expanded operations to the digital environment, expanding the reach of products and contributing to the generation of income for artisans in various regions of the country. 

The marketplace catalog includes a wide range of items: biojewelry, earrings, bracelets, bags, masks, clothing, canvas prints, decorative items, among others. The products are created by artists from dozens of traditional peoples, such as the Kayapó, Krahô, Kamayurá, Xipaya, Asurini, Yanomami, Baniwa, Matis, Marubo and Parakanã. 

“Each piece of art carries the essence, beauty and struggle of its culture. When someone buys an indigenous piece, they are helping to keep the forest standing, with dignity and respect for traditional knowledge,” explains Santana. 

Indigenous April 2025 

Historically invisible in Brazil, indigenous peoples during this period organized a large resistance movement, the Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL) took place in Brasília (DF) and brought together indigenous representatives from all over the country, especially women, to demand rights, mainly related to the use of territories. 

For many people, art is a form of resistance. And for more than a decade, Tucum has acted as a bridge between the cultural expressions of Brazilian indigenous peoples and the rest of society.  

In recognition of this, the business became part of the Origens Brasil Network, which ensures and monitors ethical relationships between companies and traditional communities. The marketplace website was also redesigned, gaining a more intuitive and immersive design, with photos, videos of the products and an Impact Map, which presents the associations and organizations connected to the network. 

“We have been building bridges between indigenous peoples and consumers for 12 years and transforming lives. None of this would be possible without the collaboration of so many collaborators, partners and associations who believe in our mission to value the art of those who fight to keep the forest alive,” concludes Santana. 

In celebration of Indigenous April, Tucum officially partners with activist Alice Pataxó, who becomes the brand's new ambassador. Originally from the Tibá village of the Comexatiba Indigenous Land (TI) in southern Bahia, the young woman is dedicated to the fight for socio-environmental justice. In 2021, she spoke out at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 26) and, the following year, was named one of the most inspiring and influential women in the world on the BBC 100 Women list. 

The marketplace now has exclusive items and a 15% discount on purchases over R$248.00, using the coupon code ABRILINDIGENA15. Those who prefer to pay via PIX can also get an extra 8% discount. 

Impact on the Legal Amazon 

Tucum is part of the portfolio of AMAZ, the leading accelerator and investor in impact businesses in the North of Brazil through a hybrid financing fund. It recently launched the 2025 Business Call, concluding a five-year cycle of investments for sustainable development in the Legal Amazon. The Call will select three to six new ventures. To participate in the selection, businesses must be formalized, in operation (whether in an early or advanced stage) and offer innovative products or services with market potential.  

Those selected will receive an initial investment of R$200,000 to R$400,000, with the possibility of an additional R$600,000, totaling R$1 million for investment. 

However, the financial aspect is not the only attraction. AMAZ provides comprehensive training for entrepreneurs through connections with other market players, workshops on various topics, and specialized support in legal, accounting and communication advice. 

Registration remains open until April 25th, at 5 pm (Brasília time), through the link: https://amaz.org.br. Questions can be sent until April 20th by email [email protected].
