Eugenio Pace & Matías Woloski
Auth0
Developer-focused identity and authentication platform · Buenos Aires, Argentina
The founder
Eugenio Pace and Matías Woloski, both trained in Buenos Aires and former Microsoft colleagues, co-founded Auth0 in 2013 to sell identity-management infrastructure to developers, building it into Argentina’s youngest unicorn with over 7,000 enterprise clients.
How it was sold
Okta announced its acquisition of Auth0 on March 3, 2021 in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $6.5 billion, closing that May — the largest exit by an Argentine-founded tech company and a rare case of two direct identity-management competitors merging into one.
