We’ve built and invested in SaaS companies for over 30 years, starting with Rackspace. We have a track record of success, especially with AI. We believe that AI, while pivotal for tech, is another infrastructure wave in the evolution of software and SaaS.

BuildGroup is led by former company founders and expert operators (we call ourselves ‘The Builders’). We specialize in early growth because we believe it’s the most critical time in a company’s life. This is where the rubber meets the road.
With the early chaos of finding product market fit behind them, founding teams need to figure out a way to build sustainable, resilient businesses. This is where we come in. Sure, our investment is helpful–but our real value add is in our ability to support founders and companies in the ways they need it most.
Our time-tested playbooks and methods are rooted in our deep expertise as former tech founders and operators.
We start by developing a comprehensive strategic plan for each portfolio company.
This plan is closely tied to an operational plan, which outlines actionable steps to achieve strategic goals, and a budget that ensures resources are allocated effectively. This disciplined approach ensures that every aspect of the company is aligned towards common objectives, creating a solid foundation for growth.

We recognize that strong leadership is crucial for any company’s success.
Our firm actively supports the addition of experienced leaders to the management team, and we prepare for CEO transitions when necessary. We place a strong emphasis on cultivating a positive and resilient company culture, which we believe is essential for attracting top talent and fostering innovation.
Product development is at the core of our value creation strategy.
We advocate for disciplined product planning and encourage our portfolio companies to leverage AI to enhance workflows and maximize the value of their data assets. We also ensure that at least 20% of the company’s resources are reserved for long-term, innovative projects, which are critical for maintaining a competitive edge in the market.
We also help companies optimize their go-to-market strategies from top to bottom of the sales funnel.
We leverage community engagement and product-led growth strategies to build strong, loyal customer bases.
