Mergers and acquisitions have been a productive way for investors, acquirers and private equity firms to grow their portfolios and access new technologies within their field of operation.
A recent study by Philipps Universität Marburg indicates that prominent industry leaders acquire startups to gain access to the latest disruptive technologies, acquire new talent, or eliminate threats to their industry dominance through “killer acquisitions”. One of such many acquisition firms is the Jonas Software group.
Jonas Software is a SaaS acquisition company with a growing family of over 120 software companies. It specializes in acquiring, managing, and building industry-specific software companies to global standards. Jonas Software operates in 30+ countries and 40+ vertical markets with 3500 employees in different regions.
