Creating Stunning Software, From Idea to Launch: Belatrix Software

A combination of nearly 20 years of experience, top IT talent, and highly-tuned agile development processes.

Achieving success from scratch in any business is tough. But from an unlikely location, at a difficult time economically, and without financial resources or an immediate source of revenue, few would even consider it. But fast-forward to today, and at Belatrix you’ll find one of the most successful software development companies in Latin America, with international operations spanning 3 continents, and annual growth hitting 35% for the past 5 consecutive years. It’s a long cry from those early days, but the founders continue with the same vision, commitment, and dedication that they started the company with.

The Robbio’s Family Story

Belatrix Software is made up of 3 partners who are connected by a very familiar bond: they are father and sons. Each has their individual stories, but those stories come together in creating the foundations of one of the fastest growing companies in the Latin American software industry.

Luis Robbio, the father, is an electronic engineer by trade, and before becoming an entrepreneur he held senior positions in Argentina, Brazil, USA, and Europe for the engineering construction company, IMPSA. For Luis, he wanted to get out of his “traditional” executive life in a multinational company and start something new. Belatrix was thus born in his house, and he remembers having to convince the first developers to bring their own PCs or literally “to live on the job” at his home.

Federico Robbio, for his part, is an industrial engineer and worked for the Techint Group in Buenos Aires as a young professional. Federico decided to return to Mendoza to start his own company with partners, before joining Belatrix. Among the anecdotes is the fact that all the first desktops and LANs of the company were assembled by him with his partners.

While Alex Robbio studied Psychology at the National University of San Luis, he has been programming as a hobbyist since he was a child. In the early 2000s, at age 25 he decided to move to the United States with his wife and 5-year-old daughter. His hobby became his full-time job when after significant effort brushing up his technical skills, he was hired as a developer and soon became a Vice President and later the COO of a technology company that would go on to become the first customer of Belatrix. Alex has also attended the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University and holds certifications from Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, and MIT.

The Culture of Belatrix Software

Belatrix’s culture and its spirit are what defines it. But creating a high-performance culture doesn’t just happen by accident. The company has worked hard to create a highly attractive work environment which fosters collaboration and innovation. Belatrix’s vision is to be recognized as the best Latin American software product development & innovation firm.
