WHO WE AREBeacon Software is building a new kind of software holding company—one that is designed by founders for founders. The Beacon difference:
Permanent Commitment: We purchase software companies with the intention of holding them indefinitely.
Flexible Terms & Transition: We are flexible in our approach to both structure and capital.
Growth & Technology DNA: We offer a comprehensive platform of software modules, shared services, and world-class Silicon Valley talent to enable you to increase the scale of your ambition and out-innovate your competition.
Transparent & Decisive: We know an entrepreneur’s time is valuable. We work hard to make our diligence and closing process as transparent and expedient as possible.
Beacon Software is on a mission to build a generational holding company of niche software solutions. Our team is composed of experienced professionals from leading technology companies such as Instacart, Airbnb, and Databricks, and top-tier investment firms like D1 Capital and Sequoia Capital. Together, we bring a technology-led and product-driven approach to finding, acquiring, and growing software businesses.
Our core values guide us:
Honesty: We are truth-seekers who believe human relationships generate alpha. Trust is earned over a lifetime and lost in an instant.
Hunger: We play to win, hold ourselves to high standards, and take pride in our responsibility to customers, partners, and each other.
Humility: We believe in learning from anyone at any time. Strong beliefs are held weakly to acknowledge being wrong along the way.
Horizon: We seek to build a generational software company and embrace compounding growth over decades.
