Acquisition Leadership Search for Software Buyouts in France and Italy

For several partner funds, Hetmos is currently supporting the search for acquisition leaders looking to acquire software companies in France and Italy.

We work with technology-focused investors that combine strong financial capacity with a clear deployment mandate: invest in profitable, well-structured software businesses with durable growth profiles.

Mandate Objective

Our role is to originate and structure opportunities that are fully aligned with the investment criteria defined by each partner fund.

Execution Scope

  • Targeted identification of software publishers in France and Italy based on precise investment filters: size, profitability, vertical, recurrence profile, and market positioning.
  • Confidential and structured outreach to founders and management teams.
  • Financial and strategic pre-qualification of opportunities before introduction.
  • Process coordination and support from first interaction through closing.

Upstream, we calibrate sourcing parameters directly with funds, including ARR, EBITDA, product maturity, geography, build-up potential, and sector focus, so only genuinely aligned opportunities are presented.

Who Should Engage

  • Entrepreneurs and experienced managers seeking to acquire a software business with institutional backing.
  • Profiles capable of leading and scaling SME or mid-market software companies.
  • Leaders with strong conviction in SaaS, recurring revenue models, and disciplined technology team structuring.

Hetmos does not co-invest in these transactions. Our mandate is to identify, structure, and connect the right targets with the right financial partners through an industrial, methodical process.
