How they work
Software Combined is an Australia-based aggregator of B2B software, operating a portfolio of 13 companies and pursuing a Benelux acquisition strategy.
- Sector focus
- Profitable, leading B2B niche software or technology companies with deep industry or functional expertise, strong product quality, a solid active customer base, high recurring revenue, an experienced committed team and a strong purpose-led culture.
- Geography
- Australia, New Zealand and the Benelux; the current regional strategy runs across the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg from an Amsterdam base.
- Ownership
- Flexible acquisition structures that let a founder remain at the helm or step away; acquired companies retain their own leadership, brand, culture and product direction rather than being consolidated or rebranded.
- Capital model
- Permanent-capital acquisition model that provides capital for long-term growth and backs independently operated portfolio companies without a forced sale.
- Hold period
- Permanent / indefinite hold: Software Combined describes itself as a forever home and states a 'we never sell' philosophy with no pressure for a forced exit.
- Founder ownership
- Founders may stay at the helm or step away; the firm uses flexible deal structures and preserves the acquired company's leadership, brand, culture and product direction.
