We acquire exceptional SaaS companies across Latin America — and never ask them to change who they are. Nuvini is a B2B SaaS group listed on Nasdaq ($NVNI), purpose-built to scale vertical software businesses without killing what made them special. We buy companies that are profitable (or close), mission-critical to their customers, and built by founders who know their niche better than anyone. Our model is simple: • Buy & hold — we’re not flipping assets, we’re compounding value. • Decentralized by design — founders stay in control, we back them with capital and shared expertise. • Growth without chaos — we help our companies scale sustainably, not at all costs. Since launch, we’ve acquired 7 SaaS companies, raised over R$100M, and went public on Nasdaq in 2023. We’re just getting started.

Through technology (mobile, AI, automation, IOT), we have created, in an unprecedented way, a next generation logistics network in Brazil that is a fast, cost-effective and reliable solution. By the end of 2020, we want to be present in all Brazilian cities and reach the milestone of 5 million deliveries per day for the next 5 years. With SoftBank, Microsoft, GGV Capital and others, the new investment round has brought Loggi’s valuation up to US$1 billion!

As one of the original firms, we’ve never lost sight of the fact that consulting is a people business. A global partnership in more than 40 countries, our people make us who we are. We’re individuals with different passions and strengths who take as much joy in the work we do as from those we work with. Our strategic operations heritage means we’ve always known that a plan is only as good as the outcome it inspires. In practice, our teams bring the perspective, understanding, and hands-on know-how to build the future as you see it. Working together we’ll see big ideas through to working realities, helping you move from keeping up to breaking through. By your side, we deliver—value, results, impact. --- There has been a significant increase in fraudulent outreach and phishing attempts across the recruiting landscape. Please be aware that Kearney will never request personal or financial information through social media or messaging platforms. You should only respond to communications from official Kearney email domains (e.g., @kearney.com), or through our authorized recruiting platforms such as Yello or Taleo.
