Blue Horizon acquires and invests in profitable software businesses with stable recurring revenue streams. The firm was started by Concentric Equity Partners, a Chicago based family investment office, together with a team of entrepreneurs and operators with many years of experience growing software businesses ranging from startups to public companies. The Blue Horizon platform combines long-term capital and industry expertise with an operating model that enables businesses and their leaders to focus on growth and profitability while Blue Horizon handles back office operations. Blue Horizon creates value from long-term profitable operating results across a family of businesses that achieve high customer and employee satisfaction, not by continually re-trading businesses after a few years of ownership.
