Partner with Us
We partner with experienced business leaders who are looking to take the next step in their careers by building and growing a software company.
Our Approach
At Define Capital, we acquire high-quality, founder-led businesses with a long track record of success. Once acquired, we look for strong leadership to help guide some of those businesses into their next chapter. That’s where our CEO Leadership Program comes in.
