Vammo’s fundraising and the role of financial structure

Vammo raised US$45 million in a Series B round to expand its electric motorcycle operation, in a move that reinforces not only the potential of the business, but also the importance of financial structure for companies seeking capital to grow.

For VBR Brasil, this fundraising has an important meaning: Vammo is a financial outsourcing client of VBR and is already the 4th client in our portfolio to reach a Series B round. This reinforces a view we have defended for some time: access to capital does not depend only on a strong business thesis, but also on governance, predictability and the quality of financial information.

What investors look at in a Series B round

In investment rounds such as a Series B, investors look at the product, the market and the potential for expansion, but they also assess whether the company is capable of delivering reliable numbers, maintaining organized processes and demonstrating control over financial and operational risks.

When the finance area is well structured, with organized financial statements, standardized processes, clear indicators and specialized technical support, due diligence tends to be more efficient, reducing back and forth and increasing the confidence of those evaluating whether to invest resources in the company.

How financial outsourcing supports this process

This is where VBR’s financial outsourcing comes in, removing the operational burden from day-to-day routines and raising the level of information that reaches managers, partners and investors.

With a more organized financial structure, the company gains better conditions to sustain an investment round, a negotiation with a fund or a larger growth movement, presenting its numbers with greater clarity, consistency and security.

The Vammo case shows that structure matters, and it matters a lot, when raising capital. The question is: is your company’s finance area prepared for this next step?
