We know a thing or two about building and investing in AI-enabled SaaS.

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.

We’ve been investing in 
AI-enabled workflows since 2015

We back companies with proprietary workflows and unique data assets. These companies:

Have found their initial product-market fit

Are shifting from starting up to scaling up

Leverage AI, or are ripe for AI-enablement

Are led by an expert but coachable team

Our deal criteria:
  • AI-enabled SaaS companies automating workflows and leveraging proprietary data for transformative solutions
  • Early-growth stage companies, typically those with $3 to $20 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
  • Initial investments ranging from $5 to $20 million, depending on a company’s size, growth potential, and capital needs
  • Companies based in North America and Europe

An investment is only the beginning.

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.

We build success through a holistic and hands-on approach.

Our time-tested playbooks and methods are rooted in our deep expertise as former tech founders and operators.
