History and Development

VTEX was founded in 2000 in Brazil by Geraldo Thomaz and Mariano Gomide with the goal of developing technology platforms for online commerce.

During its early years, the company adopted a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, allowing businesses to access cloud-based commerce infrastructure without building proprietary systems.

In 2007, VTEX began serving large enterprise clients, including Walmart Brazil, marking an important milestone in its expansion into large-scale retail platforms.

The company accelerated growth throughout the following decade, expanding its customer base and entering new international markets.

In 2012, investment from Naspers supported the company’s first international expansion across Latin America. Additional funding rounds followed, including investments from Riverwood Capital, SoftBank, Constellation and Gávea.

VTEX completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021, becoming one of the first Brazilian enterprise software companies listed in the U.S. market.

Since then, the company has continued expanding its global commerce platform, focusing on enterprise retail infrastructure, marketplace ecosystems and integrated digital commerce solutions.
