Sonae has been developing different corporate venturing initiatives for long, namely revenue assurance leader WeDo (2001) and Mainroad spin-off (2003) and subsequent successful exit (2014). Moreover, after deciding that Cyber security was an interesting area, it invested in Spanish cyber security company s21sec (2014). Another critical space for retailers, location analytics, led to the investment in Movvo (2014). Since the official launch of Sonae IM in late 2015, the company invested in InovRetail (demand forecasting for retailers), StyleSage (fashion tech predictive analytics) and Sysvalue (cyber security add on for s21sec). Additionally, Sonae IM got involved in the acquisition of Novo Banco's stakes in 3 funds managed by ES Ventures and launched Bright Pixel (company builder studio). Sonae IM was officially founded in 2015, but corporate venturing initiatives within Sonae are in Sonae's DNA for longer and led to what Sonae IM is today. The company is based in Porto, Portugal.
