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.

Jonas Software operates over 130 independently managed software brands around the world, providing them with the strategic guidance and financial security required to be leaders in their respective markets. From its roots formed in the construction and club management markets, Jonas Software’s reach has grown extensively within the fitness, membership, hospitality, and industrial verticals.
