Constellation acquires high-quality vertical market software companies and operates them indefinitely, respecting their culture, leadership, and autonomy. We preserve what makes these businesses successful, while also strengthening performance through shared resources and disciplined capital allocation.
Our Criteria
Technology
We acquire B2B technology companies that sell proprietary software solutions
Customers
We prefer companies with a diversified customer base, leading or increasing market share, and low customer attrition.
Finances
We don’t limit our acquisitions by a certain annual revenue number, but prefer companies that derive most of their income through recurring revenue models.
Size
Smaller businesses with as few as a handful of employees and larger businesses with hundreds of employees have found their home within Constellation.
Geography
With offices in 100+ countries around the world and dozens of languages spoken among our people, borders are not a barrier to acquisition.
Industry
Most of our businesses sell solutions to a specific vertical or geographic market, however, we have expanded our mandate to consider other types of technology businesses.
