A permanent home for your business
At Manos, we take a different approach to software investment. Unlike traditional private equity firms, we don’t buy to sell—we buy to build.
Backed by Valsoft Corporation, our strategy is rooted in permanent ownership. That means no artificial timelines, no short-term flip strategies, and no pressure to exit.
We’re here to support your company’s next chapter with long-term stability, patient capital, and a commitment to preserving what makes your business valuable—for your team, your customers, and your legacy.
Flexible deals for thoughtful exits
We know that every founder’s journey is unique. Some are ready to step away after years of building, while others want to stay and scale with new resources behind them.
That’s why we approach every acquisition with flexibility and transparency. We’ll work with you to create a structure that fits your goals—whether that means a full transition or continued involvement in leadership.
Whatever path you choose, we’ll ensure the transition is thoughtful, respectful, and aligned with the vision you've built.
Operational firepower when you need it
We don’t just bring capital—we bring capabilities. After acquisition, our role is to support growth, not disrupt it.
You’ll gain access to proven expertise across strategy, product development, go-to-market execution, finance, and talent. Our teams work side by side with yours to identify opportunities, streamline operations, and remove bottlenecks.
We’re here to help your business grow faster, perform better, and create lasting impact—without compromising what already works.
