Perseus Group, Constellation Software

Constellation is a publicly-traded company (TSX:CSU) that generates more than $4B USD in annual revenue, has a market cap of $35B+ and has acquired hundreds of software companies around the globe. As an operating group of Constellation Software Inc., we acquire independently managed software companies around the world. We provide them with the strategic guidance and financial security they need to become leaders within their respective markets. We don’t collect businesses. We nurture and help them grow. “We believe that small businesses should stay small. While other purchasers of business seek economies of scale through centralization, we have taken the opposite approach. We believe that potential is maximized when teams are allowed to remain small. This enables the General manager of the business to be empowered and remain in control of all levers necessary to guide his/her business.” Mark Leonard, President, Constellation Software Inc.
