It is time for the second edition of Giants of SaaS, a series of articles sharing the untold backstage stories of the largest tech entrepreneurs in Latin America.

In this article, we cover the journey of TOTVS (B3: TOTS3). Famous for its amazing feat of owning the ERP market in Brazil. Their journey is among the titans of the tech industry - not only locally, but globally. And although the company may be flying under the radar outside of Brazil, TOTVS is the indisputable unsung giant in the region.

As usual, this article will feature the stories from the companies’ early days, interviews with the founders, executives, and analyses from renowned investment firms.

The unusual bit is that this story will be divided into 2 different articles. It is impossible to tell TOTVS' story without making sure its pre-IPO inception is meticulously explored, as it shows how amazing it was to have the vision the founders had before the microcomputer was a thing.

We are very proud of the journey of local SaaS entrepreneurs, and we have decided to share with the world, in English, the captivating stories of companies that pioneered the internet in the region.

The following editions, which will be released soon, will cover, Vtex, Gympass, Olist, Unico, Vercel, Nuvemshop, Hotmart, d-local, Linx, Neogrid, and Auth0.

In the midst of a #TechWeek, there was a #TechRun!

With so many technology events throughout this past week in São Paulo, @saasholic joined forces with @cubo_network to organize a moment of fun with national and international founders and investors.

In between so many happy hours, there's nothing better than balancing it out with some exercise, and it's even better when you're in great company.
