Starian, a major software provider for private businesses in Brazil, has raised over $115 million (R$ 640 million) from General Atlantic, a global investment firm. This follows Starian’s split from Softplan in June 2025, which allowed Starian to focus on private sector software, while Softplan now concentrates on public sector solutions.
Starian offers specialized software to three primary industries in Brazil: construction (Sienge Ecosystem), legal intelligence (Projuris), and operational efficiency (Checklist Fácil and Runrun.it). These sectors are still growing, with many businesses just starting to use digital tools. Starian stands out by offering comprehensive software features, robust customer support, and customized solutions tailored to Brazil’s complex laws and regulations.
Currently, Starian serves over 16,000 clients. With support from General Atlantic, the company plans to continue growing, developing new products, and expanding into additional industries through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
The investment deal will close after standard regulatory approvals and steps are completed.
KEY QUOTES:
“Over more than 30 years, we have built a solid foundation that validates our strategy of reinforcing the vertical SaaS model. Now, with a fully autonomous operation and General Atlantic’s funding—bringing not just capital but also global expertise in technology—we can unlock our growth potential faster, strengthen our leadership in existing business units, and expand into new verticals.”
Ionan Fernandes, CEO of Starian
“The software landscape in Brazil remains fragmented, and the market is vastly underserved. We see Starian as a unique player poised to lead the consolidation of vertical software in Brazil, combining industry-leading products, professionalized management, and a disciplined integration strategy. We are excited to support the company in this new phase of accelerated growth, with a focus on acquisitions and long-term value creation.”
Rodrigo Catunda, Managing Director and Co-Head of General Atlantic in Brazil
