Grow your SaaS sustainably

We help founders build cash generating SaaS businesses by investing our capital, time and network – leveraging our own founder experience.

Running a bootstrapped or VC-backed company can be brutal - you're either short on cash or pushed for huge returns.

€100k to €600k

We invest €100k – €600k per company in the form of growth capital and/or buyout.

€100k to €2m

Focus on businesses where we can add value apart from just money – for us this is SaaS with €100k to €2m ARR.

5 to 10

Work with a small portfolio of 5 to 10 companies to give founders genuine hands – on support when needed.

Long-term

Hold long-term, focus on profitable growth and dividends, no pressure to raise or exit.

Share the success with portfolio companies by giving them % in Flying Founders.

“We like their focus on sustainable growth.
Flying Founders aren’t pushing us to raise another round, and another round doesn’t determine our valuation. What’s important to us right now is to grow our revenue.”

Jan Cizmar,
CEO of Tolgee

Let's connect if any of these sound familiar.

Seek growth partner

You acquired first customers and generate €100k+ ARR. You look for a hands-on partner for the next phase of profitable growth. Someone who’s been in your shoes before. Not a VC.

Want to move

You’ve bootstrapped the business past €500k ARR. You are profitable or break-even but you’d like to move on. You are looking for a buyer who’d give your business a great new home.

Do captable restructure

You’ve got early employees, investors, or co-founders who want to leave or cash out. You want to swap them for someone who can add value and help you grow the business.

Need help with exit

You’re at €2m+ ARR and profitable. You are considering selling and need help with preparing the business for a dream exit. Ideally from someone who did it before (and is not an M&A banker).

Companies that we have supported on their journey as co-founders, investors or operators.
