About Maple River Software

Maple River Software is an acquirer and long term owner of software businesses. We are deliberately structured to give our businesses the tools and the time they need to thrive. Our goal is to be the ideal home for businesses whose owners want to ensure that what they have built will last. We find success with owners who value a secure future for their customers, employees and industry partners. Our approach sets us apart from other software investors in several important ways: 1. Time Horizon A long time horizon is a competitive advantage. Owners planning to exit the business within a few years are motivated to make short term decisions, while those with no exit in mind must pursue sustainable growth strategies. As a holding company rather than a fund, we can hold our businesses indefinitely. This approach forces us to avoid easy short cuts and build for the future. 2. Autonomy The people closest to the problem usually know the most about it and develop the best solutions. While we offer guidance, wisdom, and analytical support, we respect the autonomy of our management teams. We foster healthy debate but tend to defer to those intimately familiar with their businesses. 3. We are Led by Former Operators Running a business is hard. Big problems filter up, not down. We understand how difficult it is to run a company, which means the unique nuances of your business will not get lost in a spreadsheet. Great operators usually crave autonomy and loathe bureaucracy – sentiments we share based on our own experiences. If this approach resonates with you, please feel free to reach out to us.
