Not every great company is designed for the traditional venture capital path.
In Latin America, many strong SaaS teams operate in markets with real constraints: limited liquidity, smaller TAMs, uneven customer willingness to pay, or longer sales cycles. These realities don’t make the companies less valuable, they simply call for a different type of partner.
That’s where 5X Capital comes in.
A model built for founders who want to grow with discipline, profitability, and long-term value.
📌 Why 5X offers an alternative to the traditional VC model in Latin America
📌 How the Buy–Grow–Hold model works for SaaS companies
📌 A real success story from Mexico: Intelligential
📌 How Lazo supports 5X’s mission across the region
📌 Where 5X is headed, and the founders they are built for
Latin America has world-class founders, but the traditional VC model isn’t always the right fit. Many companies with strong fundamentals fall into the “missing middle”, too solid for early-stage VC, too early for private equity, and not looking for aggressive hypergrowth.
5X Capital fills that gap.
They invest in B2B SaaS companies that want to scale with intention, balance growth with profitability, and build durable value.
Their philosophy rests on three pillars:
5X acquires companies that solve real industry problems, have healthy recurring revenue, strong retention, and diversified customer bases.
Once they join, 5X helps strengthen teams, enhance products, adopt new technologies (including AI), and expand into new markets, all within a permanent capital structure built for long-term value creation.
Unlike traditional VC, 5X operates with a long-term mindset. Companies grow profitably, generate cash, and compound value over time, with no forced exits.
In short: 5X backs founders who want to build durable companies, not chase short-lived valuations.
A clear example of the model in action: Intelligential, a leading Mexican SaaS company digitizing financial institutions.
Since partnering with 5X:
CEO and founder Luis Fernando Sánchez remains fully at the helm.

Their mission is rooted in a simple promise: help founders multiply the value of their companies at least fivefold during the first five years.
And with their Buy–Grow–Hold model, they’re creating the conditions for that growth to happen, sustainably.

Their Buy–Grow–Hold model gives founders the capital, expertise, and strategic support needed to unlock the next stage of value.
