Our Focus

We have a simple business founded on a few key principles.

Business Software

Business Software

We invest in and partner with software businesses selling to a business buyer.

Business Software

We’re passionate about the opportunities entrepreneurs have to disrupt convention and drive innovation in business software. We’re big fans of the business software recurring revenue model, the opportunity to surface value to a discriminating end client, and the rewards that are available to business software companies that execute. We’re obsessed with best practices, emerging trends, KPIs, and lessons learned in business software and share these with our entrepreneurs.

Growth Stage

Growth Stage

We are a great fit when you’ve evolved past the point of being a start-up and you’re looking to scale.

Growth-stage

When you’ve successfully navigated building your product, hiring your team, and winning your first few million of revenue, you’ve accomplished a lot. The journey’s just begun, however, and scaling your GTM organization, evaluating ongoing pricing and packaging strategies, and expanding into new geographies can be treacherous. You need a partner who’s expert at successfully charting this leg of the journey. PeakSpan focuses exclusively on software businesses that have reached the point in their evolution and maturity where they are ready to scale sensibly.

Theme Driven

We don’t pretend to be expert at everything but it’s our aspiration to be a best in class partner in the market segments that we’re passionate about. Our team focuses on a tight portfolio of themes or market segments and we only invest in these categories so that we can be impactful as a partner and stakeholder. You won’t have to tune PeakSpan up on the opportunity you see in your market, the competitive landscape, or the challenges you need to navigate. We know your segment cold and are committed to building and maintaining excellence in your market category as one of a few areas that we focus on.
