Firm · Since 2008
An investment banking firm built from the founder’s side of the table
G2 Investment Banking was born in 2008 out of the sale of a software company. Since then it has advised founders and boards of Latin America’s technology startups and scaleups on the decisions that define a company; how much capital to raise and from whom, when to take on debt and when to sell.
Value proposition
Five attributes that rarely coincide in a single adviser.
-
Specialised boutique
We focus on investment banking transactions for growing technology companies. No conflicts of interest and no capture by a single industry or financial group.
-
End-to-end support
We cover the whole process. Corporate structuring, financial model, documentation, identification of investors and lenders, negotiation and closing.
-
Direct access
An active network of venture capital funds, corporates, family offices, debt funds and strategic buyers, with direct relationships with the people who decide.
-
Senior involvement
The partners work directly on every mandate throughout the process. No delegation to junior teams and no team rotation.
-
Investor perspective
We have invested in more than sixty companies through G2 Momentum Capital and G2 Fintech Fund. We know how decisions are made on the other side of the table.
Values
Six principles that govern every mandate, from the first conversation to the months after closing.
-
Independence
Our fees are paid by the client and only by the client. We receive no commissions from investors, lenders or buyers, and we do not advise processes in which a group vehicle sits on the other side of the table.
-
Integrity
We say what we think even when it is not what the client wants to hear, we present one version of the information to every counterparty, and we do not take part in processes whose terms we could not defend in writing.
-
Excellence
Every model, memorandum and negotiated term is prepared with the rigour an investment or credit committee will apply when reading it. The standard is not to deliver, it is to withstand the toughest review.
-
Commitment
A partner leads each mandate from start to finish, with a small team dedicated through closing and the first months after it. We do not open more processes than we can serve this way.
-
Discretion
A process becomes known when the client decides it should. Transactions are published with authorization, amounts are disclosed only with the parties' agreement and the information in a mandate never leaves the assigned team.
-
Alignment
We are paid for closing, not for trying. Our fee structure is defined with each client so that the outcome we pursue is the same one they pursue, and the conflicts policy makes the rules public whenever the group invests.
The G2 group
The G2 group
- G2 Banca de Inversión Investment banking advisory
- G2 Momentum Capital Venture capital · since 2011
- G2 Credit Platform Private credit
G2 Investment Banking is the advisory firm of the G2 group. The group includes G2 Momentum Capital, a venture capital vehicle that has invested in more than sixty early-stage companies since 2011, and G2 Credit Platform, a private credit vehicle. Together, the group has more than seventy portfolio companies across Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay and the United States.
That combination is deliberate. We know how an investment committee reads because we sit on one; we know what a credit committee demands because we fund loan books. And precisely for that reason, the rules separating advisory from investment are public.
How we work
We advise and we invest, and we say so. Group vehicles participate in a transaction advised by G2 Investment Banking only with the client’s written consent, on the same terms as the other investors or lenders and without access to privileged process information. G2 Investment Banking does not advise processes in which a group vehicle acts as buyer. Every transaction involving the group is identified as such in our transactions gallery.
A mandate with G2 is led by a partner from start to finish, with a small team and a single version of the information before every counterparty. We report in writing every week and we say what we think even when it is not what the client wants to hear.
