Our Investment Preferences

As a general guideline, we are looking for the following:

• Technology: We acquire software companies that sell a proprietary solution that is highly tailored to fit the needs of one or more vertical markets
• Industry: Our existing verticals include Hospitality / Hotel, Fitness, Sports & Leisure, Education, Club, Construction / Field Service, Foodservice, Salon & Spa, Health Care, Case Management, Marina Management, Moving / Storage, Legal, Attractions, etc. We are continuously expanding in our existing verticals as well as adding new verticals via acquisition.
• Size: Smaller businesses with as few as a handful of employees and larger businesses with hundreds of employees have found their home at Jonas.
• Geography: With offices in over 10 countries and customers in many more, borders are not a barrier to acquisition.
