PARTNERING WITH SOFTWARE COMPANIES PEOPLE LOVE


SOFTWARE FOCUSED, CULTURE OBSESSED.












 


FIVE ELMS CAPITAL IS THE IDEAL PARTNER
FOR LEADING B2B SOFTWARE COMPANIES.

Since firm inception in 2007, we have focused exclusively on software investing,
building an unmatched network and deep domain expertise. Today, with over $2.4
billion in assets under management and a global team of over 70 investment
professionals, we have invested in more than 65 software platforms globally.

We invest $5-75 million in companies with $2-20 million in revenues - minority
or majority investments,
growth capital, or liquidity for founders and early investors. 




IDEAL PARTNER FOR FOUNDERS

We specialize in partnering with founder-owned, bootstrapped businesses, working
alongside management to accelerate growth and continue to build industry leading
businesses. We take partnerships seriously and will work our tails off to help
you succeed, but never take ourselves too seriously. Our relaxed, open, and
honest working style is one of the reasons we've been successful earning
founders' trust and a seat at the table in profitable businesses where
additional capital is optional. 




ANTI-VALLEY APPROACH

We love billion dollar outcomes just as much as everyone else, but don't believe
in "unicorn or bust". We don't push companies to grow at all costs or raise mega
rounds of capital - that mindset increases founder dilution and reduces the
landscape of exit scenarios where everyone wins. We like managers to have both
significant equity stakes and significant option value as to what outcomes can
be a win. 

 




B2B FOCUS

We exclusively invest in B2B software companies. This specialization has helped
us build an unmatched network and deep domain expertise. Founders can supplement
their industry knowledge with our experience in helping accelerate growth,
overcoming positive and consistent challenges tied to scale, and de-risking the
path to a successful exit for all stakeholders.  




RESOURCES AND VALUE-ADD

Our firm and Operations Support Team has been purpose-built to optimize key
functions in a bootstrapped organization (e.g., sales, marketing, finance,
recruiting). Our goal is to provide you the resources and expertise to
supplement your already successful organization and to assist in more rapidly
achieving organizational goals. 

 




CULTURE IS CRUCIAL

Our best performing companies are obsessed with company culture - it's crucial
to their success. We have a very simple playbook… great products + great people
= great outcomes


WE HUSTLE

Much like the companies we back, we aren't the incumbent behemoth in our
industry - we try harder.
