Born from a real need.
In 2019, two brothers from Florianópolis spotted a real problem: real estate teams were losing deals because they didn't have the right tools. They decided to build them.
“We saw agents losing deals because the tools didn't exist. So we built them.”
Real estate runs on fragmented tools: leads scattered across portals, WhatsApp inboxes and spreadsheets, with no single view of the pipeline. Agents spend more time chasing contacts than closing deals.
For agencies and developers, that fragmentation is lost revenue. Every unanswered lead, every late follow-up, every referral with no system is money left on the table.
In 2019, the brothers founded Captei in Florianópolis with a simple idea: give real estate the infrastructure it deserves. Leonardo led strategy and product, Jonathan led engineering. The platform serves real estate teams in Brazil and is now expanding into the Americas and Europe.
Two brothers, one mission.
Leonardo brought the business vision. Jonathan, the engineering. Together they built what was missing.
Technology entrepreneur for over 15 years. Started building digital products as a teenager and never stopped. Leads product vision, sales strategy and growth at Captei.
Before Captei, he founded startups in travel and B2B software. He brought to real estate the SaaS product mindset the industry was missing. Every feature starts from a real pain, not a guess.
Computer engineer with 15+ years of experience across operations and systems architecture. The technical brain behind the entire Captei platform.
Leads engineering, infrastructure and technical product. Built everything from the crawler that powers the property-owner database to the AI agent architecture behind Copiloto. Co-founded Reserve.tur.br with Leonardo before Captei.
From a first project to a global platform.
