You don’t have to sell out entirely. We offer real flexibility. Take some money out now, retain a stake, continue to stay involved and share in the growth. This could be your moment – make one decision now and save yourself five years of waiting. Any stake you retain in the business is likely to grow over time, meaning you could make more over the long term.

Permanent equity means we buy and hold forever. Unlike conventional private equity, we don’t flip businesses; we help them flourish. With us, everything you’ve built – your team, your culture, your leadership – stays intact. Your business gets to the next level, with less risk to you. Rest assured that with Upliift, your business isn’t, and will never be, an asset to run down over time.

Our shareholders are aligned with our focus on long-term purposeful growth. They are passionate about software businesses, committed to the long haul, and purpose-led. They follow value-based philosophies focused on longevity and positive social impact. That means no change of plans or shift in outlook. You can find out more about them and their approach on our blog.

We see what makes you special. We help you grow faster and further, and we won’t force a one-size-fits-all approach. We preserve the teams, culture, and legacy you worked hard to build. Your next phase with Upliift isn’t a gamble, it’s a safe, strategic step forward. You’ve done the hard part, building a great business. Now, it’s about taking the next step, with support, experience, and capital behind you.

We’re European. We speak your language and understand how you work. We don’t impose American-style practices. We only acquire European niche software businesses with a vertical focus, in particular, financial services, agrifood, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

We bring decades of software industry experience in M&A, GTM, sales, pricing, finance, and operations. We have many proven practices and tips we can share that will make a world of difference to how you run the business. You can also tap into our extended network of seasoned industry experts who can advise you and your team where you need it.
