Who We Are

We’re working to build a place where the processes and culture make it easier to make radical breakthroughs — repeatedly.
Our recipe for Loon Factory:
Anyone in any field can take a moonshot. Not all moonshots have to include a science or technology breakthrough.
Each of our moonshots sits at the intersection of these five ingredients:

  • A huge problem in the world that affects millions or billions of people

  • A radical, sci-fi-sounding solution that may seem impossible today

  • A technology breakthrough that gives us a glimmer of hope that the solution could be possible in the next 4-8 years What if solving one problem could unlock solutions to thousands more?

  • Always on investing in Education for Brazilians through partnerships with academies, scholarship, and technology, our returns can be measurable in many ways, one of them is five years from now, the consequences of our investment can be the creation of many "competitors" of Loon Factory in Brazil hopefully much better than us.

  • Always invest in art because it is fun and we like it.
