BID Equity helps you to advance your company with means usually not accessible for entrepreneurs: We complement our operational support with the ability to acquire other businesses. We work with you to develop a custom acquisition strategy addressing your business's needs. More importantly, based on our experience we know what is possible when integrating these acquisitions - and what is not. Especially when it comes to overlapping products, we see that our focus and expertise helps to make the right decisions.

Company Value (Exit)

Managing a software firm is special and different from managing a company that is concerned with unit cost. But the principles are quickly explained: Create a product that makes customers more successful, talk about it and implement the solution at the customer. However, growing these capabilities as the company grows is not trivial. Not because entrepreneurs don’t know what levers exist, but because of creating the structures and finding the best people for pulling these levers. This is where BID Equity can help: We know where to look first and also bring the capabilities and resources to execute.
