WHO WE ARE

Beacon 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. 

About the Team

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.
