People are the asset
Singapore spent heavily on education and health from day one, even when money was scarce. We hold ourselves to the same rule: no investment is worth it if it does not leave people better off.
About White Jungle
Named after the forest everyone overlooked.
In Tupi, caa-tinga means “white forest.” For most of the year the Caatinga looks dead: grey-white trunks under a hard sun. Then the rain arrives and the whole biome turns green in days. We think the region’s economy works the same way. It needs the right conditions, and it will surprise everyone.
Mission
To make Brazil’s semi-arid a global center of prosperity by backing the founders who solve water, harness clean energy and turn dryland knowledge into world-class companies.
Our values
Wellbeing is measured
Returns matter, and so do health, income, relationships and a sense of purpose. We track them for every company and report on them alongside performance.
Culture is alive
Forró, cordel, repente, bode assado. Culture survives when the people who carry it prosper at home. We invest so the next generation does not have to leave.
Zero tolerance for corruption
Every resource-rich region faces it. Transparent governance, clear reporting and aligned incentives are non-negotiable, for us and for our founders.
Built in the sertão
We are a small team of operators, engineers and investors from the Northeast and beyond. Full team profiles are coming soon.
