Our thesis
What drives us?
We aim to grow together, innovating and driving projects forward with our investments, sharing values and strategic know-how.
What we bring
Partners, not just capital
We look for companies that have already proven their business: they have customers, revenue and a team that keeps the operation running every day. That is not something capital alone can buy or speed up.
What we bring is what is usually missing to make the regional leap: engineering capacity, structure, access to talent and a commercial network built across more than 12 countries. Management keeps running their company; we join as one more partner.
- Companies with real operations and revenue from USD 500,000 a year
- Management that wants to keep growing and running their business
- A product or service that Epidata’s structure can scale across the region
- Shared values and purpose

The model
How do we work?
USD 3M
We invest up to USD 3 million
We acquire a minority stake in the share capital. We do not take control of the company: the current management keeps running the business.
Business plan and expansion
We work alongside you to build the business plan and drive the company’s expansion.
Network and alliances
We open up our network of contacts and alliances, and all of our social capital in Latin America and the United States.
Board and mentors
We bring in board members and mentors who help partners reach their goals, both personal and corporate.
Engineering and delivery
We provide our expertise and delivery capacity to scale engineering teams in record time.
Hiring and regional distribution
We make our hiring capacity available, together with the distribution of your products and service offerings across the region.
Long-term commitment
We join to sustain growth over time, not to chase a quick exit.

Portfolio companies
20% of the share capital
FyBSistemas
We acquired 20% of the share capital of FyBSistemas, an Argentine software company with more than 30 years developing management solutions for distribution companies and SMEs across Latin America. With processes certified under ISO 9001:2015, its solutions —Mobiliza Ventas, for field sales force automation, and Mobiliza Gestión, a full ERP— support the daily operation of more than 250 companies and 3,000 users in Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay.
Over 30 years, FyB built something capital cannot buy or accelerate: operational trust. When a distribution company puts its invoicing, its inventory and its logistics into a piece of software, it is choosing a partner, not a feature. FyB continues to be led by its current management; Epidata joins as one more partner, contributing structure, engineering and a regional network to support its growth.
Nilus
Nilus works to fight hunger and improve the quality of life of low-income communities through technology. Its mission is to reduce the cost of food by cutting out intermediaries and rescuing products at risk of going to waste, making sure they reach those who need them most. With an innovative approach and a strong social commitment, Nilus is transforming food logistics and distribution to make it more accessible and affordable.
At Epidata we share Nilus’ values and vision. That is why, drawing on our experience in innovation outsourcing, we provide resources and services to boost its impact and contribute to its social purpose.
