This story requires our BI Prime membership. To read the full article,The London-based e-commerce infrastructure company VTEX recently raised its first major fundraising round from SoftBank's Latin America fund and two major Brazilian investors.

"Previously we were allergic to external funding because we were doing well without, but now we know how to scale and see the opportunity," Mariano Gomide, the co-CEO of VTEX, told Business Insider in an interview.
