What we look for

We acquire and partner with exceptional B2B software businesses across Europe.

Healthy finances

You've built a sustainable business with revenues between 2M€ – 7M€ and a proven history of profitability.

Critical product

Your software is essential to your customers' operations, serving a specific mid-market or enterprise need.

Loyal customers

You have a base of happy customers who love your product, evidenced by high retention and trust.

Shared success

You and your team are excited for the next chapter: you're looking to roll part of the proceeds to retain meaningful upside.

We are operators who join your team as co-pilots, not backseat drivers. We bring the experience of scaling tech startups combined with the strategic discipline of private equity. Over a 3-5 year partnership, we work alongside you to build your growth engine, implement proven playbooks, and prepare the business for its next phase of scale.

Why we do this

Our strategy is driven by three core beliefs about a unique inefficiency.

/01A new moat for software

The world of software has changed. With AI, building a product is faster and cheaper than ever. Yet, code isn't everything. In this new era, your distribution channels, your customers' trust, and your deep expertise are the most valuable assets. We acquire this foundation and apply modern agentic automation alongside proven PE playbooks to supercharge your growth.

/02An underserved market

Businesses of your size are not quite on the radar of traditional PE funds. They are built for massive deals and they can staff strategists, not hands-on builders. We created ONE TO TEN to serve this crucial need. We bring a rare blend of VC and PE experience to be true operational co-pilots for businesses of your size.

/03The path to a premium valuation

In the ‘1 to 10’ growth phase, a company's true potential isn't yet reflected in its valuation. Our mission is to change that. As we establish a repeatable, profitable go-to-market engine and get closer to 10M€ in primarily recurring revenue, we secure the attention of our network: larger funds, strategic acquirers, and LMBO partners. In turn, this milestone creates a landmark outcome for everyone involved.

Our process

From first chat to close, we aim for a 90-day journey that’s straightforward, transparent, and respectful of your time. No surprises.

A confidential, informal conversation to see if there’s a mutual fit. We want to hear your story and understand the business you’ve built. No formal pitch materials are required.

Let's talk

If this approach resonates with you, we’d welcome a confidential conversation about your vision. No pressure, no formal pitch required.

Just a discussion between operators.
