We invest in a special breed of software businesses that we have spent decades studying.
As an operating group of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX:CSU), we help good companies become great through data-driven guidance, permanent capital, and the accumulation of knowledge from over 800 acquisitions.
Our buy-and-hold philosophy aligns the interests of employees and customers.
Independence
Domain expertise is one of our core pillars. Our industry experts have developed intimate knowledge of their business and customers, and they are empowered to operate autonomously.
Culture of Excellence
Our investment decisions are guided by the accumulation of learnings from each new acquisition. Our global network of entrepreneurs, software experts, and investment professionals provides a platform for leaders to thrive.
"So for us, we saw it as a win-win situation. A win for the company because it was going to be able to leverage the experience of Perseus and grow strongly. A win for our staff because now they've got potentially more opportunities, not just within Auto-IT but within other Perseus and Constellation businesses. And a huge win for our clients because we see now that we can leverage off the expertise throughout the Perseus group."
“Perseus Group is a great fit for our business because it has experience working with a vast amount of software companies like ours. We now have the ability to compare our processes and best practices to theirs and make adjustments based on our discoveries.”
“With Perseus Group, I have access to all kinds of resources and people to help me with the business. That way, when we see challenges coming up, we can plan for them in advance.”
“It’s great to belong to a larger group of software companies. Sharing all this knowledge is a fantastic way to improve each of our respective businesses.”
“I heard horror stories about buyers backing out or changing their agreement terms at the last second. Perseus Group wasn’t like that, and I trusted them.”
“I turned 50 the same month that we were acquired by Perseus Group, so it was a phenomenal birthday present. They came in and said, ‘We’d like you to run this business and figure out how to grow it — we’re not going to tell you how to operate it.’ I knew right away that we were in good hands.”
