How we build high-performance SaaS and Marketplace businesses
Operator DNA
We spent years in the corner office, which means CEOs and executives have decades of operational expertise to rely on to build high-performing teams and SaaS businesses.
Purposeful Growth
We want our portfolio companies to scale quickly but free of the high-burn, grow-at-all-costs mentality that can do more harm than good just so the investor can flip the company for a quicker profit.
Servant Investing
The investor should serve the CEO, not the other way around. Everything we do is tailored to the unique needs of each executive, leadership team and SaaS business we work with.
Selective Investments
Our approach only works when our operators can dedicate their time and expertise to solving critical operational challenges CEOs and teams face as they scale.
Our Operators
Scaling a business with purpose takes more than money. It requires a high-performance leadership team and corporate culture that catalyzes growth. We have that knowledge in abundance, and our operators—led by former Rackspace CEO Lanham Napier—have the
scar tissue to prove it.
Our Investors
BuildGroup is backed by high-net-worth family offices that share our operator DNA. They understand what it takes to build high-performing businesses because they’ve been doing it for generations. The close relationships we’ve built with our investors not only create tangible growth opportunities for our portfolio companies, they establish the foundation for our entire approach and set the tone for how we define and achieve mutual success.
Our Portfolio
We embrace an industry-agnostic investment approach, focusing instead on high-growth or high-potential SaaS businesses and teams. We also limit the number of investments we make every year so we can give each portfolio company and leadership team the time, attention and tools they need to solve critical operational challenges and scale with purpose.
