Banyan Software

5 open roles

Banyan Software acquires vertical-market software businesses and holds them permanently, positioning itself as a buy-and-hold alternative to traditional private equity that resells companies on a fund timeline. Founded in 2016 by David Berkal, it has acquired over 100 companies (across education, healthcare, scheduling, transportation, and other niches) and sold none, running them through a decentralized model where founders keep operating control while tapping a central Growth Ops team for AI, sales, finance, and product support. It operates as a private, institutionally backed holding company with local teams across the US, Canada, Brazil, the UK, Europe, and Australia. For a PM, the interesting angle is the portfolio-company structure and Banyan's heavy current push to re-architect its acquired products to be AI-native. Perks include paid parental leave and global company retreats.
