ABVCAP — Private Equity and Venture Capital GP Bootcamp
Training Brazilian PE/VC managers with international mentors, in English-Portuguese.
▶ QUICK SUMMARY
ABVCAP — Brazil's leading private equity and venture capital association, representing over 200 fund managers — runs the GP Bootcamp, a training program for new fund managers with international speakers and mentors. Alex Barros interpreted English-Portuguese for the program's international component, after a formal vendor selection process in June 2021.
The context
ABVCAP is Brazil's leading private equity and venture capital association, representing over 200 fund managers. The GP Bootcamp is its training program for new fund managers, with international speakers and mentors bringing experience from more mature PE/VC markets.
The event's international component — sessions with foreign investors and mentors — required simultaneous interpretation specialized in private equity and venture capital vocabulary, not just generic bilingual fluency.
In June 2021, ABVCAP conducted a formal selection process among interpretation vendors for the program, with Gabriel Modenesi and Julia Lima (Events Team) coordinating the evaluation.
What PE/VC vocabulary requires
Interpreting for a PE/VC manager training program means handling terms with no direct translation and whose meaning shifts depending on the fund's context: earnout, carve-out, step-in rights, MOIC (multiple on invested capital), subscription line facility, management rep, closing mechanics.
Unlike a one-off event, the Bootcamp is a training program — the same concepts are revisited with increasing depth across sessions, requiring the interpreter to maintain terminological consistency between an introductory module and an advanced session on the same topic.
