The permanent home for exceptional software companies.

We invest the assets of two Adelaide families with a passion for operating and growing exceptional software companies. As stewards of this capital, we seek to own a select group of private software companies headquartered in Australia and New Zealand that are exceptional in their quality, durability and economic potential.

Proficient and Private

Our “family-equity” approach is the better choice for companies that represent the creative work of a lifetime looking for long-term security and stable growth.

Our family-equity differences:

  • Whether you want to keep running the business or exit and pursue other passions, we can prioritise your transaction objectives.

  • We believe in traditional business values where one’s word and handshake matter.

  • We prioritise improving business quality over growth at all costs.

  • We value privacy and provide deal certainty.

  • See your legacy grow and prosper. We understand the challenges in growing a successful software company and provide the experience and capital necessary for exceptional companies to prosper.

Search Criteria:

  • Niche Software or IT Services

  • Majority available for purchase with a preference for 100%.

  • Headquartered in AUS or NZ

  • High-quality products and services are evidenced by strong customer loyalty.

  • For platform acquisitions - revenues >$3m+ or earnings >$1m+. No minimum for bolt-ons to our holdings.

  • Sellers with a clear understanding of their preferred outcomes.

Our Principles

  1. Long-term: As stewards of our families’ permanent capital, we think in decades and generations. As experienced operators, we understand the compounding value of a long-term perspective. We aim to achieve sustainable growth and stability—drivers that go far beyond short-term financial gain.

  2. Independent: We are fiercely independent and don’t play politics. Our subsidiaries maintain their identity and operate independently, with our central team working closely with management as active and engaged partners.

  3. Entrepreneurial: We are entrepreneurs. We have ambitious goals for our companies and maintain a growth mindset because it secures jobs, increases value, and is fun.

Our principles -long-term, independent, and entrepreneurial-are the compass for our decisions everyday, the acquisitions we look to add to our family of businesses, the priorities we set for ourselves, and the people we choose to surround ourselves with.

Our Values

Our values are the qualities that reflect how we do business and what sets us apart from others. We work best with those who share these values.

  • We prefer to be upfront, get to the point, and hate to waste time. We have a clear understanding of why we want to acquire your company, and we hope you understand your desired outcomes when it comes to selling your business.

  • We do business on the strength of one’s word and a handshake and always respect your time and ours.

  • We enjoy doing business with people we trust and admire and understand that our employees and partners will create our group's long-term value.
