Today, we are launching the Software Gym đŸ‹đŸ». Like any decent gym, ours offers a variety of workouts aimed at making you a better acquirer - and a better owner of software businesses.   

Choose between 3 types of workouts:

  1. “How-to” primers. Deferred revenue liability. Translating off-the-cuff CTO remarks like “spaghetti code” into deal terms. Stress-free M&A in France. If you have a question, we probably have an answer!  

  2. Ace your fundraising game. Here, you will find everything you need to succeed in getting your rollup off the ground, funding-wise. Investor directory. Check. Insights on rollup structures. Check. Structuring incentive equity. You bet!    

  3. Consolidator deep dives. Why is Constellation Software worth $100B+? Why are the rich and famous piling into Chapters Group? And why not into Upland Software? 

We are committed to regularly updating the Gym with new “workouts”. Also, look out for in-person and online seminars and workshops. The next one will be in London on 6 May. Register here

Looking for a tailored programme? Drop an email on [email protected], and we will connect you with verified partners across capital introductions / debt broking; recruitment; fractional CFO - and more.      

This week’s post is about revenue concentration. Problem statement: most niche, defensive software businesses have one major vulnerability. A small number of clients represent a disproportionate % of revenue. As an acquirer, how can you mitigate this risk? Tune in this Thursday for Pavel’s battle-tested advice.
