Software & IT

Security, business software, data and IT support. Investors look for smaller providers too, as long as customers stay and revenue recurs.

With software and IT companies, what counts most is what comes back every year. Loyal customers and a team that keeps developing the product are often worth more than rapid growth.

That is exactly what I look at before I approach you. And I only get in touch when an investor is a genuine fit for your company.

Four segments I follow closely

Data & AI

Specialists who build data platforms and deliver analytics and AI on top. Many companies have the need but no team of their own.

  • Data platforms and data engineering
  • Business intelligence
  • AI applications
  • Microsoft, Databricks and Snowflake partners
  • Data strategy and advisory

IT & Managed Services

IT system houses and service providers who run their clients' IT. Monthly contracts make these businesses predictable.

  • Managed services
  • IT system houses
  • Cloud and hosting
  • Networking and communication
  • IT support for mid-sized firms

Why this market is consolidating

Many smaller software houses and IT service providers were built by their founders and now face the question of what comes next. Investors bring such firms together to offer clients more from one source and to share development and operations.

Frequently asked questions

Who buys companies in Software & IT?
Mostly financial investors building a group, family offices with a long horizon and buyers from the same industry. I always work for exactly one investor with a clear plan and only get in touch when your company fits.
What does a conversation with you cost me?
Nothing. It is free of charge for you, the investor pays my fee.
Does my software need a subscription model?
No. Maintenance contracts or long customer relationships count just as much. What matters is that revenue comes back every year.
