Fund III’s Analytical Edge: Fabrica Ventures and Sacra

We’ve known the core Sacra team — Marcelo Ballve, Jan-Erik Asplund, and Walter Chen — for many years.

Sacra is a venture research powerhouse — one of the leading independent platforms focused exclusively on venture-backed technology companies. Trusted by professional investors, it brings institutional-grade analytical rigor to private markets, where information is scarce and pricing discipline matters most.

At Fabrica Ventures, where underwriting is deeply analytical (especially important in late-stage investing), this naturally translates into frequent and substantive interaction with the Sacra team, whose work we admire.

We believe Sacra’s edge is built on a few core pillars:

* Institutional-Grade Depth: first-principles analysis of business models, unit economics, and competitive positioning 

* Private Market Expertise: deep coverage across AI, infrastructure, emerging tech verticals, and fintech 

* Investor-First Approach: actionable frameworks and decision tools — not just commentary 

* Proven Rigor: trusted, independent, high-signal analysis relied on by professional investors

Heading into Fund III, we thought: why not have Sacra embedded directly into our underwriting process, as part of our core analytical engine?

In turn, our LPs benefit from deeper diligence and a clearer view of valuation, risk, and upside — leading to stronger conviction in every investment decision.

Conclusion

Thus, we are pleased to announce that Fabrica Ventures Fund III will be powered by Sacra.

And Marcelo Ballve — who spent a year living in Brazil — will serve as our primary liaison.
