Hi, we’re Curious. We create exceptional exits for founders, helping transform their business to last forever.

Curious acquires and builds leading software businesses through permanent capital, deep operating experience, and long-term orientation.  

Selling your company should feel good.

Permanent Capital

Each acquisition we make is in the frame of decades. We're a patient partner that cares deeply about long-term operation and legacy preservation, not raising additional funds or future exits.

Operational Chops

Our team brings decades of software experience across the stack to help your business scale. We grow businesses that may have stalled and accelerate those that are already clicking.

Certainty of Close

Our process is built on efficiency and certainty. We close within 60 days and pay cash. Founders decide whether to stay with the business or hand it off. No golden handcuffs.

In their words...

Andrew Gertig

Co-Founder of Polymer

When we started exploring options for how Polymer could continue to grow, Andrew and his team quickly became the clear answer. The Curious team brings a rare combination of empathy, decisiveness, and builder’s intuition. They immediately understood the balance we worked so hard to strike, simplicity on the surface with powerful functionality underneath, and they also saw what Polymer could become.

Polymer is in good hands with Curious, and we are excited to see it continue to grow into the best option for companies to find and hire the right people.

Steven Mulcahy

Former CEO of Avenue

Through the process of finding a new home for Avenue we spoke to tens of potential partners. From our very first meeting, Andrew and Curious stood out for their empathy for our story, curiosity (unsurprisingly!) and a builder’s mindset that focused on potential and possibility.

More simply: they just got it. It was refreshing to start from a place of understanding and respect, rather than feeling like every aspect of the company’s history and operations was under a microscope.

Ian Blair

Founder of Buildfire

Working with Curious was an incredibly smooth and straightforward process. From the beginning, they demonstrated quick decision making and a level of transparency that made the entire experience seamless. Unlike many firms that acquire businesses to run out cash, Curious is passionate about the brands they take on. Their dedication to the business was clear, and I’m confident it’s in great hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Steve McKay

Former Chairman of Convox

We were specifically looking for a team with the operating experience to take the business to the next level. This is where the "Builders, not bankers" mantra of Curious was a perfect fit.

Not only did we find the right home for the Convox team, but we also knew that the business would continue to thrive and our customers would be in the experienced hands of operators who would invest in and improve the business and its products.

Gaurabh Mathure

Co-Founder of Tydy

The first thing we noticed about Andrew and the Curious team was their approach to business, one that feels more human and less transactional.

Right from our first conversation, they led with clarity and a deep commitment to transparency—values that we instantly aligned with. From the start, I could tell they weren't just checking boxes, they genuinely wanted to understand our journey and were focused on getting a positive outcome for everyone.

Built to keep your brand and vision alive for decades.

We're vertical agnostic and welcome all situations, even messy ones.

We look to acquire software companies, both venture backed or bootstrapped, in the following revenue range.

$1M – $5M
