Research & Market Intelligence
Market and technology intelligence for private market decisions in Latin America.
Research on Latin American markets, industries, businesses and technological change to examine investment theses, acquisition contexts and strategic alternatives. The relevant perspective depends on the country, sector, decision and evidence available.
For corporate development teams assessing Latin American B2B technology businesses, private equity investment teams researching opportunities across sectors, and selected direct-investing family offices.
Research can inform screening, market assessment and the questions that merit deeper work. It does not, on its own, establish the attractiveness of a target or the suitability of an investment.
Decisions that need context
What needs to be examined before advancing an investment opportunity?
Investment and acquisition decisions are shaped by different levels of evidence: country conditions, sector economics, technology shifts, company characteristics and transaction-specific constraints. Research can help clarify what is known, what is assumed and what requires further examination.
Understand a market or sector
Examine industry structure, competitive dynamics, regulation, demand patterns and country-specific conditions instead of treating Latin America as a single market.
QuestionWhich market assumptions matter most to this thesis?
Assess technological change
Investigate how AI, software, automation and other technologies may affect business models, productivity, industry structure, competition and potential value creation. Distinguish adoption signals from demonstrated economic impact.
QuestionWhat could technology change—and what evidence would confirm the impact?
Examine an acquisition or direct-investment thesis
Explore the company landscape, comparable business models, market dependencies and uncertainties that may warrant additional screening, diligence or specialist review.
QuestionWhat information could support, challenge or narrow the investment case?
Corporate acquirers may come from any industry when examining a Latin American B2B technology target. Private equity research can cover different sectors. Research scope is defined by the question and mandate, not by a claim of exhaustive regional coverage.
What research can examine
Markets, industries and technology—examined in context.
Research can bring together macroeconomic and regulatory context, industry structure, business-model dynamics, technological change and company-level questions. The purpose is not to collect information for its own sake, but to examine a defined decision and identify the evidence that could change its interpretation.
Coverage, sources, depth and deliverables are discussed for each Custom Research enquiry. A broad sector trend is not evidence that any individual company is an attractive acquisition or investment.
Discuss a research questionResearch lenses
The analysis follows the question, not a fixed sector template.
The areas below are potential dimensions of a research brief. They are selected according to the decision at hand, source availability and agreed scope—not bundled as mandatory deliverables.
- Country and institutional context
- Economic conditions, regulation, ownership structures and local constraints relevant to the decision.
- Industry and market structure
- Market participants, value chains, competition, segmentation and business-model economics.
- Technology and AI impact
- Technology adoption, automation, AI and potential changes in productivity, margins, demand and competition, without assuming benefits are already realized.
- Company and target landscape
- Possible categories of businesses, business models and comparability questions within a defined market or investment thesis.
- Opportunities and uncertainties
- Drivers, limitations, competing explanations and scenarios that could alter the assessment.
- Implications for further assessment
- Questions, evidence gaps and conditions for additional screening or specialized review.
Define the question.
Agree on the decision, country or countries, industry, time frame and material assumptions.
Agree on evidence and scope.
Identify available sources, expected coverage, specialist needs and practical constraints.
Review the findings.
Present evidence, interpretations, uncertainties and questions that remain open within the agreed deliverable.
Custom Research
When an investment question needs a defined research scope.
Custom Research can examine a specific question about a Latin American market, industry, technology trend, company landscape or acquisition context. Each enquiry is assessed for relevance, available sources, professional capacity and a feasible scope of work.
For corporate buyers, this may involve the market context around a potential B2B technology acquisition. For private equity, it may concern a sector, investment thesis or company universe across industries. For direct-investing family offices, the scope depends on a specific investment or co-investment decision.
What a research brief may examine
- Markets, industries, segments, competitive dynamics and value chains.
- Technology adoption, AI and changes to business models, economics or competition.
- Company landscapes, acquisition contexts and investment-thesis assumptions.
- Relevant risks, uncertainties, scenarios and alternative explanations.
- Evidence gaps and questions that may justify further assessment.
Possible deliverable: a scoped Research Brief presenting the question, coverage, relevant evidence, interpretation, alternative explanations, limitations and next questions. The final format is agreed for each engagement.
What the brief helps examine
- The question, boundaries and decision context.
- Relevant sources, periods and comparability limitations.
- Market, sector and technology observations.
- Assumptions, risks and evidence that may challenge the thesis.
- Conditions for additional review or a decision not to proceed.
- How it is scoped
- We first discuss the question, feasibility, available evidence, deliverable, timing, professional involvement and commercial conditions before any engagement is agreed.
- Client participation
- The client clarifies the decision and provides relevant information it is authorized to share, subject to the arrangements agreed for the project.
- Boundaries
- Custom Research is distinct from transaction execution, deal intermediation, formal due diligence opinions, asset management and regulated legal, tax, audit or investment advice. Additional specialist services require separate scope and appropriate professional review.

How we approach research
Evidence, context and technological change—examined through a decision.
The research perspective can integrate five dimensions, with depth determined by the specific mandate and available information. The intention is to distinguish observed developments from projections, interpretations and assumptions.
- Context
- Economic, geopolitical, regulatory and institutional conditions relevant to the market and time period.
- Industry
- Market structure, competitive forces, value chains, business models and sources of demand.
- Technological change
- How technology and AI may affect activities, productivity, business models and competition; and where the evidence does not yet support a conclusion.
- Opportunities and risks
- Potential developments, constraints, uncertainties and scenarios that could modify the thesis.
- Decision implications
- Which findings may matter for screening, further evaluation, revising assumptions or deciding not to advance.
What the evidence shows—and what remains uncertain.
A credible interpretation requires attention to source quality, definitions, coverage and competing explanations. Technology adoption does not necessarily imply higher margins or returns; a favorable industry outlook does not, by itself, establish target quality or an acceptable transaction. The analysis should make these distinctions visible.
The depth and reliability of any conclusion depend on the agreed research scope and accessible information. Investment and transaction decisions remain with the relevant parties. No commercial, financial or investment outcome is guaranteed.
Questions before discussing a research brief
Who is this Research offering intended for?
The English page primarily addresses corporate development and M&A teams examining Latin American B2B technology acquisition opportunities, private equity investors researching companies and industries in the region, and selected family offices making direct investments or co-investments. The appropriate fit depends on a defined question and mandate.
Is the research limited to technology companies?
No. Research is multisectoral. Technology is an important dimension of analysis across industries, including AI, software, automation and their potential effects on business models and economics. The specific B2B technology focus applies to certain corporate acquisition and transaction-related questions, not to every research engagement.
What technology-related questions can be examined?
Depending on the mandate and accessible evidence, a brief may examine technology adoption, competitive shifts, changes in productivity, value chains, unit economics or business models. It distinguishes observed effects from expectations and does not assume that technology adoption creates investment value.
How is Custom Research different from a data subscription or a standard market report?
Custom Research starts from a defined question and an agreed scope, then examines relevant sources, context, assumptions and limitations. Existing internal teams, subscriptions or advisors may already be sufficient; a specific incremental contribution should be assessed before engaging.
Does Custom Research include formal due diligence or transaction advisory?
No. A Research Brief may inform early assessment and identify questions for further work, but it is not a formal due diligence opinion, valuation, deal execution service or regulated professional advice. Those activities require separate scopes and the relevant specialists or authorizations.
Which Latin American countries and industries are covered?
Coverage is determined by the specific question and available evidence. Latin America is not treated as a homogeneous market, and this offering does not claim exhaustive coverage of every country, industry or private company.
Is there an English-language research library or membership on this page?
Not at present. Existing shared research and membership materials are currently in Spanish. This English page does not provide library access or subscription checkout. For a defined investor or corporate research question, use the Custom Research enquiry.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
We review the general question and context to consider fit and a possible next step. Any engagement requires separate agreement on objectives, sources, scope, professional responsibilities, timing and commercial terms. Sending an enquiry does not initiate a project.
Discuss a research question
What market, technology or investment question are you assessing?
Share the country or market, industry, technology theme and decision you want to examine. A concise initial description is sufficient. We can then consider whether Custom Research is relevant and what scope might be appropriate.
Do not send confidential company, target or transaction information in an initial unprotected email.
