Starboard Trust is a self-funded Portuguese family fund that blends prudent stewardship with a global outlook, led by Managing Partner Fábio Catão. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, we are positioned to deploy multi-billion-dollar investments across five 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, Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia. 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.
Alternative and Sustainable Energy
The future is powered by clean energy. Starboard Trust will channel investments into solar, wind, green hydrogen and carbon-capture technologies—applying rigorous ESG criteria to every project.
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 compassion for the natural world, we will launch in late 2025 an international rescue and rehabilitation program for wildlife affected by climate-driven disasters. In collaboration with leading U.S. universities, these initiatives will combine cutting-edge animal-welfare techniques with social governance—embodying our commitment to 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.
