OUR PHILOSOPHY

Founder First Process

Customer Centricity

At every turn, we ask "how can we provide more value to our customers?" We know that value capture will come in the long-run if we focus on the customer's needs today.

Keep It Simple

We value candor and simplicity. We don't find it fashionable to use big words nobody understands.

Our Strike Zone

We like companies that mostly embody the following characteristics--a proven product in a growing industry with room to grow. A SaaS with $500k to $10M in Annual mostly Recurring Revenue. High Net Dollar Retention and Low Churn on a cohort basis with happy, sticky, customers. Healthy growth and margins.

We’re flexible. We are agnostic to geography (the world is flat!), industry, and whether founders stay as part of our growth plans or leave to start their next venture.

These are rules of thumb. Every company is distinct. Reach out to have a conversation! We value discretion and seek to be helpful in our conversations with founders.

Investment Criteria

"I had a number of different companies who'd expressed interest in buying Track Star. My concerns with the transaction were that many of the people who approached me really were looking to flip the business. I wanted the product to continue, I wanted the team to be taken care of. Of all the people I talked to, Solen was the one that met those expectations. Alex and the Solen team are interested in long term ownership of Track Star and their other properties and to grow them and hold on to them, not bundle them up with something else and
send them over for an instant profit."

Mike Huges
Founder & CEO of Track Star

Testimonials

What people say about us

Solen CEOs and Operating Partners

“We get constant private equity and generic interest from financial buyers. When we met Solen, right away we could tell the night and day difference."

J. Thorbergsson | SaaS CEO

“From the very first meetings, we were whiteboarding on product, technology and a growth vision for our company that I hadn’t fully appreciated. They are a team of partners looking to grow the overall pie."

M. Malum | SaaS COO and Investor

“It was clear from calls with the experienced strategic and operating teams at Solen that this was the kind of partner right for us - not a suit and tie financial buyer. The talent their team and network of operating partners can bring was highly impressive."

S. Berman | Head of Engineering at SaaS Company

“Solen from the very beginning came focused on adding value and expertise on the product, tech, marketing and sales side. But it was also apparent that they live by the principles on their website. I came away convinced by their respect for company culture and vision to be a good steward of our company’s future."

B. Jonsdottir | Product Leader at SaaS company
