Combined with our M&A services, we offer advice on the financial restructuring process, seeking to preserve and maximize value for our clients.
The experience of the founding partners and the management of proprietary businesses allowed Estáter to become a partner of investors, entrepreneurs and controlling shareholders in the management of their companies. We build specific governance models for each case, allowing Estáter to assume management and/or contribute to the implementation of company transformation agendas, always with the economic interest aligned with the owner of the capital.
We build business management projects, assembling high-level teams, implementing the correct governance and generating results.
Our familiarity with digital businesses led us to create Nébula, an ecosystem that encourages entrepreneurship. In astronomy, a nebula is a point of creation of new stars. At Estáter, we are bringing together founders, investors and mentors in the same space to foster the next generation of leaders in the digital economy.
We created Nébula, an entrepreneurship ecosystem that brings together and stimulates diverse digital companies.

The Instituto Fazendo História contributes to the development of children and teenagers who are in foster care, working together with the protective network, with the purpose of strengthening them in order to transform their own story. The importance of the personal and family history of each member is the central axis for all programs of the organization. Since 2005, the Instituto Fazendo História works in conjunction with shelters through its own programs and projects in several cities of São Paulo, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Maranhão, Ceará and Paraíba states.
The Programa Fazendo Nossa História offers welcoming spaces such that children and teenagers who are in foster care recall and register the stories of their lives. Through reading, a child or teenager and a caring adult meet weekly to share stories and register them in an album with photos, reports, and testimonials. The album belongs to the child or teenager and accompanies them for the rest of their lives.
