Hello,
we are Via Unita, part of Chapters AG, a group focused on acquiring and building software companies. We are currently active in the DACH region and have a strong network across Europe.
We are now looking to partner with Searchers—motivated, entrepreneurial individuals who want to identify and acquire software companies in their home countries and eventually take on a leadership role. Our plan is to work with a limited number of Searchers (maximum two per country) and build local teams around them.
How we envision the collaboration
We would like to start with a pilot phase to see whether the working relationship is a good fit for both sides before formalizing it through a contract.
If this setup is not for you, I completely understand. If you are open to exploring it, I’d be happy if you reached out to me directly.
What we are looking for
We are seeking future leaders with professional experience who:
Are entrepreneurial and driven
Are motivated to search for suitable software companies (succession situations preferred)
Are willing to take responsibility for managing the company after acquisition
What we bring to the table
Capital for acquisitions
Expertise in contract negotiations, due diligence, and transaction execution
Pre-qualified lead lists and additional operational support
Collaboration model
One dedicated point of contact providing coaching and access to resources
Initially no fixed salary; with lead flow and a successful collaboration, compensation will be introduced later
Focus on software companies
The Searcher receives an equity stake in the company they acquire and lead
Best regards,
Jonas
