How they work

Founder-led, privately held long-duration holding company acquiring and operating B2B software, technology-services and technology-enabled businesses for sustainable long-term growth.

Terem says it acquires technology-driven businesses and builds them over decades. It favours targets able to operate without their founders or fresh capital. Terem does not publish a stage-by-stage transaction timetable, diligence checklist or signing protocol.

Sector focus
Technology-driven B2B businesses, including software, technology services and technology-enabled services; revenue must depend on technology.
Geography
Australia, New Zealand and North America are listed on acquisition contact material; evidence suggests a primary focus on Australia and ANZ.
Ownership
Acquisition and long-term operation and growth; also open to founder-owned, venture-backed, spinout and special-situation businesses.
Target revenue
$1m-$10m revenue with growth potential. A 2024 founder launch separately stated $1m-$5m net profit or direct line of sight; that historical profitability evidence is not treated as a current revenue threshold.
Target EBITDA
No EBITDA threshold was stated. A historical founder announcement instead stated $1m-$5m net profit or direct line of sight, which must not be converted into EBITDA.
Capital model
Long-duration holding company; the founder says Terem's balance sheet and cashflow enabled the Attune spinout. No external fund or LP structure was established publicly.
Hold period
Indefinite or decades-long orientation; the firm says it acquires businesses to build over decades and prioritises sustainable long-term growth.
Founder ownership
Scott Middleton is CEO and founder, and Terem Capital is privately held. Current ownership percentages and other shareholders are not publicly stated.
