Solen Software Group Enters Latin America With New São Paulo Office

The permanent-capital firm opens its first Latin American office, extending merger-and-acquisition sourcing and due diligence to founder-built software businesses across Brazil and the wider region.

Solen Software Group, a permanent-capital operator of mission-critical software businesses, today announced the opening of a new office in São Paulo, its first in Latin America. The office will serve as a regional hub for merger-and-acquisition sourcing, due diligence, and relationship-building with founders across Brazil and the broader region, extending a footprint that already spans the United States, Canada, and Europe.

The new office gives Solen a permanent, in-region presence in South America for the first time. It expands the firm's reach into new founder ecosystems and mission-critical software markets across Latin America, and it reinforces a model built on long-term ownership rather than a short-term stepping stone. Solen operates on a framework it calls buy, build, stay: bring a founder-built company into a permanent home, invest in it for decades, and keep the team and product where they started.

The São Paulo team will lead sourcing, due diligence, and relationship-building with founders, owners, and intermediaries across the region, working alongside Solen's existing merger-and-acquisition function in the United States. Members of the team live and work in Brazil, and several leaders across Solen speak Portuguese, giving founders a partner that understands the market from the inside rather than at a distance.

“We share the same entrepreneurial roots as the founders we partner with. We deeply understand the years of dedication and sacrifice it takes to build something meaningful, and we want to join forces with these entrepreneurs to keep building their success stories for decades to come,” said Rafael Mazzeo, Senior Operating Partner, leading Solen's expansion into Latin America, adding, “We chose to be different by opening a real office in São Paulo, with a local team on the ground and founders we get to know face to face, not from a distance. This expansion is a crucial milestone in our growth strategy, and proof that Solen Brazil is here to stay.”

Solen is led by operators, not accountants. Its team has built and run software businesses before evaluating them, and it applies that experience to how it works with founders in every market it enters, including this one. Solen continues to evaluate new partnerships with founders of mission-critical software companies across Latin America and welcomes introductions from operators and advisors.
