Valor Capital Elevates Fundraising for Two New Funds With SS&C Intralinks
As the cross-border firm launched new funds across Latin America, SS&C Intralinks FundCentreTM delivered the secure, scalable foundation to power their expansion.
Overview
Founded in 2011, Valor Capital Group is a venture capital and private equity firm investing across Brazil and Latin America, with a focus on high-growth sectors such as Fintech, E-commerce and Healthtech. As the firm prepared to launch its new USD 500 million fund, Valor needed a modern, scalable solution to streamline operations and reduce friction. The firm turned to FundCentre Fundraising to upgrade its technology stack and deliver a seamless experience for its limited partners (LPs).
Situation
For more than a decade, Valor Capital Group has trusted Intralinks’ fund reporting solution to manage all their investor communications. While preparing to launch two new funds, the investor relations (IR) team saw an opportunity to further modernize and streamline its fundraising experience by expanding its Intralinks deployment across the fund lifecycle. While their previous third-party solution for fundraising was functional, it lacked Intralinks’ secure, automated workflows. In addition, LPs were far less familiar with that platform than with Intralinks, which created challenges in navigating the system and accessing key documents.
During their initial demo, the Valor team was impressed by FundCentre’s unified experience. “The fact that Intralinks provides a comprehensive product suite yet still allows us to choose the specific solutions we need was extremely helpful,” says Pedro Bustamente, a senior investment analyst at Valor Capital Group. In their evaluation of other providers, they couldn’t find one that could match Intralinks’ global reputation for trust and security. Having built confidence in Intralinks over years of partnership, the move to FundCentre was a natural next step. “SS&C Intralinks is a strong partner for us because of its credibility and the fact that most people are already familiar with using its tools across other deals,” he adds.
Solution
FundCentre delivered immediate benefits for the Valor team. With a database of more than 900 contacts, using an established platform meant that most investors and prospects already had Intralinks logins, significantly reducing onboarding friction and support requests. Robust security features, including detailed activity tracking and permission controls, ensured data integrity and transparency throughout the fundraising process.
The team also appreciated FundCentre’s marketing features and capabilities. “We really like the landing page and being able to personalize the [user interface] UI,” says Bustamente. “That’s something we couldn’t find elsewhere with the same level of security.”
With FundCentre, Valor can easily create personalized landing pages for each fund, enabling the team to tailor messaging for different investor audiences. “We create a dedicated landing page for each campaign that highlights key messages,” he adds. “It’s an effective marketing tool that enhances our brand presentation and leaves a positive impression on investors.”
FundCentre’s open application programming interface (API) architecture offers another major advantage — the flexibility and security to seamlessly integrate FundCentre with internal and third-party systems. This capability also allows them to build custom workflows to fit their specific needs.
Bustamante also praises the collaboration between Intralinks’ sales and customer success teams, noting that their partnership was instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition to the platform. “The customer support has been excellent — always available, proactive and solution-oriented,” he says. “The Intralinks team was incredibly helpful during implementation and quick to respond anytime we had an issue.”
Results
Following a smooth rollout, Valor Capital Group successfully launched two new funds and several co-investment and special purpose vehicles. By choosing FundCentre, the team centralized document sharing, gained greater visibility into LP engagement, reduced administrative back-and-forth, and streamlined the capital-raising process. The firm continues to use the platform for ongoing document sharing and fund marketing.
The IR team expressed strong satisfaction with the platform’s simplicity, personalization options and highly responsive support. Building on this success, Valor is now exploring FundCentre Reporting to further extend Intralinks’ capabilities across the firm’s fund management workflows.
By choosing FundCentre, Valor Capital Group has transformed fundraising into a seamless, investor-first experience — all while strengthening a key technology partnership that supports the firm’s next stage of growth.
