We will invest in, operate, and grow 1 significant B2B tech business

We are Indus Growth Fund

Today, more than ever, business owners are concerned about preserving their legacy through the transition to new leadership. 

The Indus river is one of the longest rivers in the world, with a length of some 2,000 miles. As with all mighty rivers, following one's natural flow is the most enjoyable way to achieve one’s goals. And so it is with transferring ownership of a business. We want to maintain the established vision, purpose, and impact while expanding geographies, talent, and customer base. As part of the natural transition, new alliances and channel partners further the path, while growing the business helps it gather speed as it nourishes customers and communities as part of its ecosystem.

We’re happy to speak with you about your business transition needs. We have a clear vision of the ideal fit partner for our investment:

Financial attributes
  • B2B technology (software or tech-enabled services) business.
  • Mature company with recurring revenues and a proven product-market fit.
  • For SaaS businesses: $3-5M ARR.
  • For tech-enabled service businesses: $10M to $50M of annual revenues with an EBITDA Margin above 15%.
  • Strong revenue growth in the past years.
Ownership situations
  • Founder-operator owned
  • Management to transition/exit
  • Retirement-seeking
  • Limited family involvement

In addition, we want to work with current business owners to develop a flexible post-transaction plan that meets their personal needs around the transition. We are open to discussing options for how former leadership can remain engaged at their desired level while preserving aspects of the established culture as appropriate.

Note: We require at least a controlling interest and will not invest in startups, turnarounds, or project-based businesses.
