About Galapos
Galapos is a financial advisory firm fully owned by XP Inc. Its operations are divided into three verticals: M&A advisory, strategic financial consulting, and government incentive management.
In M&A, acting as a branch of XP’s Investment Banking division, Galapos is primarily responsible for executing Middle Market transactions.
The consulting division focuses on projects aimed at improving clients' results—either by revenue growth levers or by optimizing costs and expenses.
In the government incentive vertical, Galapos helps clients take advantage of tax benefits related to innovation, such as Brazil’s “Lei do Bem” (Good Law). Additionally, Galapos is one of Brazil’s leading advisory firms for structuring fundraising projects via Finep, supporting clients from proposal writing to accountability reporting.
Galapos has a team of over 100 professionals, and most of its founders remain active in the firm’s operations.
