Matheus Riga

I’m addicted to great stories: the ones I tell, the ones I hear, and the ones I help others bring to life. I spent half of my career inside major newsrooms and the other half in venture capital funds, always working to turn complexity into clarity, strategy, and narrative. At Astella, I’m part of the Platform team, helping to uncover, structure, and amplify the best stories from the fund and the entrepreneurs who are building Brazil’s future through technology. Almost everything that involves curiosity and creativity captivates me. I’m the kind of person who gets excited about any sport and is always testing a new gadget. Cinema is my emotional home, non-fiction books are a permanent fixture on my nightstand, and my newsletter The Zeitgeist Observer is where I put my love for writing into motion.
