Double V Partners to Invest Up to $1 Million in Guatemala

Double V Partners is advancing its investment in Guatemala, allocating between $800,000 and $1 million as part of a $2.1 million regional plan for Mexico and Central America, aimed at strengthening its expansion and technological capabilities.

Guatemala as a Strategic Hub for Central America

The company formally began legal operations in Guatemala in 2023 and strengthened its commercial presence in 2024. Since then, Guatemala has been a strategic hub for Central America and a base for regional growth.

According to CEO Daniel Villa Camacho, the investment responds to the company’s accelerated growth, expanding from zero to more than 200 employees in under five years, with an annual growth rate exceeding 130%.

The executive explained that the capital will be used to strengthen internal structures and support sustained expansion.

A Market Aiming to Compete Globally

Villa Camacho noted that entering Guatemala was not initially part of a structured strategy, but rather the result of emerging opportunities. However, the country’s potential ultimately solidified the company’s commitment.

He highlighted Guatemala’s open, dynamic business culture focused on continuous improvement as a key factor. Unlike other markets, many local companies aim to benchmark against advanced economies such as the United States and Europe, accelerating their digital transformation.

Technology Services Focused on Digital Transformation

Double V Partners’ business model centers on helping companies transition toward advanced technological environments through services such as:

• Legacy system migration and modernization
• Cloud infrastructure (cloud computing)
• Artificial intelligence (AI) development and implementation
• AI governance and certification
• Digital solution development

The company holds ISO 42001 certification, enabling validation of AI systems under standards of ethics, control, and governance.

Structural Challenges Affect Expansion

Despite its potential, Guatemala faces structural barriers. One of the main challenges is the lack of conditions for international billing, which complicates global operations.

As a result, the company established its financial operations in Panama, while maintaining technical and strategic operations in Guatemala, leveraging local talent.

Challenges and Opportunities

One of the main barriers facing Guatemala is the lack of conditions for international billing, a limitation that directly impacts companies with global operations. This structural challenge makes it more complex to manage cross-border transactions and scale services beyond local markets.

As a result, Double V Partners has opted to establish its financial operations in Panama, where regulatory and operational conditions are more aligned with international business requirements. However, the company continues to maintain its technical and strategic operations in Guatemala, leveraging the country’s growing talent pool and its strategic position within Central America. 

Talent and Future Growth

As part of its expansion strategy, the company plans to strengthen its workforce in Guatemala, particularly in roles linked to technology and commercial development. This growth reflects not only increasing demand for its services but also the importance of building strong local teams to support regional operations.

Double V Partners is placing a strong emphasis on hybrid talent, seeking professionals who can bridge the gap between technical expertise and business understanding. This includes engineers capable of contributing strategic insight, as well as professionals from non-technical backgrounds who can effectively engage with digital tools and artificial intelligence.

“The future belongs to those who can combine both worlds,” Villa Camacho concluded, highlighting the evolving demands of the labor market in an increasingly digital economy.
