Entrepreneurs of success to follow and be inspired by

Firstly, successful entrepreneurs are experts in managing and guiding a business or company, as well as leading, guiding and seeking opportunities, ultimately, for the growth of the business and each employee within the enterprise.

Therefore, the much-desired success is directly related to dedication and the understanding that a well-led and motivated team becomes increasingly efficient in the search for prominence in the market.

With this in mind, we've brought together some of Brazil's leading entrepreneurs, people who have followed a path of success and are examples to inspire you. 

Flavio Augusto

Flávio Augusto da Silva, a name steeped in success stories, is at the forefront of brands built from scratch and currently runs the Geração de Valor social media page, where he uses his experience to inspire and motivate people to transform their lives through entrepreneurship.

As a champion of protagonism, Flávio asserts, through his story and experiences, that everyone can achieve their dreams. Born in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, the son of a military man and a teacher, the businessman grew up in the Jabour neighborhood, leaving only to marry his wife, Luciana, with whom he started a family of three children.

Alexandre Birman  

However, Alexandre Birman, for example, is a world-renowned shoe designer and CEO of Arezzo & Co, the largest women's footwear retailer in Latin America.

He is also the founder of Schutz and the "Alexandre Birman" brand, a company focused on the high-end segment. Since 2007, the Schutz brand has been part of the Arezzo & Co holding company, thanks to the purchase of 25% of its shares by the Brazilian investment fund Tarpon.

Gustavo Caetano

Gustavo Caetano, the founder of Samba Tech, is one of the most successful entrepreneurs. He owns a company focused on online video distribution and management. The business is considered one of the most innovative in Latin America, and its development is directly linked to Gustavo's technical analysis of the field.

He is considered one of the country's most promising entrepreneurs. His name frequently appears on lists of young, capable businesspeople.

Icarus of Carvalho

He was responsible for the marketing strategy of major digital projects, such as Brasil Paralelo. He is also the founder of 'O Novo Mercado,' an online school dedicated to teaching digital marketing, which has tens of thousands of students.

Ícaro De Carvalho became well-known when he coined the term "stage entrepreneurship" in one of his texts. His criticism was directed at "fanciful promises" and those who sold quick results in entrepreneurship even without any relevant experience in the field.

Recently, his work became even better known through Instagram where he developed a content model in the question and answer format that was later used by almost the entire Brazilian internet.

Nathalia Arcuri

Nathalia Arcuri is the creator of the channel "Me Poupe!", a project focused on financial education using a common language in entertainment. Through her channel, Nathalia shares information about personal finance through direct and educational communication.

With this innovative idea, Nathalia Arcuri has become a leading figure among internet users focused on sharing financial knowledge. Her channel is the largest in the world on the topic.

A journalism graduate, Arcuri has shown an interest in finance and wealth accumulation since her youth.

Murilo Duarte (Slum dweller investor) 

At 26, Murilo Duarte, known on social media as the Favelado Investidor, earned his first million reais. He has a YouTube channel and teaches about financial education and investing.

The idea for the channel came to Duarte and his partner, Vinicius Silva, 24, when they were studying accounting. When presenting a project on investment, they noticed that much of the class had little knowledge of the subject.

Nati Vozza

When 36-year-old Campinas-based influencer and entrepreneur Nati Vozza gained notoriety by creating the blog Glam4You in 2009, she already dreamed of having her own clothing brand. At the time, the then-blogger, who also worked at the now-defunct Daslu, started slowly, producing one-off pieces sold online. More than ten years later, Nati, alongside Antônio Junqueira (her partner and ex-husband, who left his job at a bank to dedicate himself to the label), transformed NV into a success story: in 2020, the brand had gross revenue of R$158 million.

Thus, it opened a 440 m², three-story flagship store in the Jardins region of São Paulo and was acquired by Grupo Soma (owner of brands such as Farm and Animale) in a transaction valued at R$1,400,000, part of which was paid in group shares (the duo, however, continues to lead the business).

Camila Farani

Camila Farani is a Brazilian investor known for co-founding G2 Capital.

A company that focuses its investments on companies linked to the technology field, the businesswoman is also remembered as one of the main angel investors in the country.

Additionally, Camila Farani is a member of the reality show Shark Tank Brasil, a television program that focuses on finding new entrepreneurs with innovative ideas.

With a law degree, Camila specializes in several business-related areas, using this knowledge in her investment decisions.

Cristina Junqueira

First, Cristina Junqueira is the co-founder and CEO of Nubank, a digital bank with a market capitalization of US$1.5 billion. She is also known for her professional career at major companies such as Itaú Unibanco.

Cristina Junqueira was the only Brazilian to be included in the Fortune 40 under 40 list in 2020, one of the most important recognitions in the business world.

Factors that make Junqueira, even in a short time, position himself among the richest people in Brazil with a fortune of R$6.3 billion.
