The permanent partner to vertical market software companies

We acquire software companies with a strong position in their market and grow them over the long term.

We know what a company means to the person who built it. We created Matisse Ventures to ensure its continuity, true to the values behind its success.

Our approach

  1. 01

    A partnership built on trust

    Permanent capital. We never sell our companies.

  2. 02

    An independent model

    100% owned by our founders, with no funds or outside investors.

  3. 03

    Hands-on support

    We work on the ground with your teams, every day.

  4. 04

    Autonomy preserved

    Each company keeps its teams and products, with no mergers or migrations.
