About Us

Our work is guided by a long-term vision and a commitment to purposeful action. We bring together trusted partnerships, disciplined strategy, and a deep sense of responsibility to address complex global challenges. From investment to philanthropy, our focus is on creating lasting, measurable impact across generations.

Starboard Trust is a self-funded European family fund that blends prudent stewardship with a global outlook, led by Managing member Fábio Catão. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we are positioned to deploy multi-billion-dollar investments across four high-impact pillars aimed at driving sustainable growth:

Cutting-edge Medical Research
At the forefront of biomedical innovation, Starboard Trust will commit significant capital to breakthrough therapies for Alzheimer’s, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Lewy body dementia, and Parkinson’s. By partnering with top neuro­science institutes and accelerating clinical trials and gene-editing platforms, we aim to turn hope into cures—enhancing millions of lives.

Innovative and Disruptive Technologies
We believe true transformation springs from bold thinking. That’s why Starboard Trust will back visionary startups in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, biotechnology and advanced robotics. Beyond funding, we will provide hands-on mentorship and strategic connections to scale solutions capable of redefining entire industries and creating exponential value.

Multifamily Real Estate Investments
We view the multifamily housing sector as a nexus of stability and social impact. Starboard Trust will focus on energy-efficient, prime-location developments that deliver affordable, high-quality living.

Philanthropic Initiatives
Driven by Fábio Catão’s deep commitment to responsible stewardship of the natural world, Starboard Trust will launch a funding initiative in the first quarter of 2026 to support the training of service dogs for individuals living with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other conditions requiring assistance animals.

In collaboration with leading U.S. universities, this initiative will integrate evidence-based animal-welfare practices with strong social impact and governance frameworks—advancing measurable outcomes in health, accessibility, and ethical care. This program reflects Starboard Trust’s broader ESG commitment to sustainable impact, responsible partnerships, and the protection of life in all its forms.

Looking Ahead
Starboard Trust unites rigorous financial strategy, disruptive innovation and social responsibility into a single mission: to create real, lasting value that inspires.
