Brian Requarth co-founded Viva Real and was the company's CEO from 2009 to July 2016 when he became Chairman. The company bootstrapped its operation and eventually raised over $74 million USD.

He led merger negotiations with ZAP Imóveis (owned by Grupo Globo, Latin America’s largest media company). The deal closed in December 2017. Requarth is Chairman of the combined company, Grupo ZAP.

In March 2020, Grupo ZAP signed a deal to be acquired by OLX Brasil for R$2.9bn. The deal was approved by anti-trust authorities in Brazil and the transaction closed October 30, 2020.

As an angel investor Requarth has invested in 80+ tech startups in Brazil and Latin America and he has recently started Latitud, a new project focused on helping early stage founders build iconic companies in Brazil and Latin America.
