How they work
Beacon Software is a permanent holding company that acquires and operates established software businesses. Its central teams support product development, engineering, AI, finance, operations and sales while portfolio teams retain their customer relationships and brands. Founders may continue leading their businesses or agree a transition as part of the acquisition.
Beacon starts with a discussion of the business and the founder’s objectives, reviews information for an offer, then works through diligence, agreements and transition planning. Its founder letter describes a 60-day period from letter of intent to closing; the acquisition FAQ says timing is agreed for each transaction.
