Our Competitive Advantage
Superior Downside
Risk Protection
5X invests exclusively in mission-critical software companies with customer retention rates above 90% and diversified client bases. This ensures resilient, recurring revenue even during downturns.
Our companies’ solutions are deeply embedded in client operations, resulting in multi-year relationships and high switching costs. Their high gross margins, low capital expenditure needs, and strong operational efficiency provide robust cash flows.
This financial and operational discipline offers natural downside protection rarely matched by traditional business models, delivering stability and predictability for all stakeholders.
Permanent
Capital Structure
At 5X, our permanent capital structure is a game-changer. While traditional Private Equity and Venture Capital funds are forced to exit investments within 8–10 years, we invest without a ticking clock.
This freedom empowers us to compound value over the long term, holding and nurturing businesses for as long as it takes to realize their true potential. We can reinvest profits, pursue strategic acquisitions, and pay dividends when it creates the greatest value.
Founders and managers can focus on building enduring, profitable companies, knowing 5X will never force a rushed sale. Through market ups and downs, our partnership remains stable, strategic, and relentlessly focused on sustainable growth.
Innovative
Incentive Model
At 5X, we don’t use the traditional “2 and 20” model. We raise funds and invest on a deal-by-deal basis, and only earn our share when a company is successfully acquired and investors receive their capital back with an agreed return.
Investors never pay management fees. Instead, our portfolio companies pay value creation fees only for the hands-on support we provide directly and through our expert network.
This innovative approach means our incentives are fully aligned with generating steady cash flows, paying regular dividends, and driving sustainable growth in Net Asset Value.
Operational Support
and Governance
With 5X, founders gain far more than capital; they gain access to decades of operating experience building and scaling software businesses in the region.
Through our proprietary 5X Operating System™, we deliver hands-on support across talent, product, technology, sales, marketing, finance and operations. We lead from the front, acquiring controlling stakes and chairing boards to set a winning strategy, ensure disciplined capital allocation, and drive the adoption of transformative technologies like Generative and Agentic AI.
Yet, we empower operators with autonomy and proven tools, so they deliver extraordinary results, while investors enjoy hands-on stewardship and sustainable, compounding value creation.
Regional Network
and Expertise
Latin America’s B2B SaaS market is rich with quality companies, and still systematically undervalued. 5X turns this imbalance into advantage.
With deep local roots and a trusted regional network, we source proprietary opportunities and invest at compelling valuations amid limited private-market activity. Our on-the-ground expertise in markets, ecosystems, and regulation translates into practical support, fueling organic growth, add-on acquisitions, and cross-border expansion. We open doors, remove friction, and accelerate scale.
For Latin American founders, 5X is the partner of choice to unlock the next chapter of investment, innovation, and growth, while giving investors direct access to sustainable, compounding returns in a region poised for its breakthrough moment.
Scaling your business starts with one decision: the right partner. Here’s what it really means.
