Valsoft is a Canadian company founded in 2015 that acquires and permanently holds vertical market software businesses rather than reselling them. It buys established, often founder-owned products serving narrow industries such as transport, hospitality, insurance, healthcare and utilities, then keeps them operating under their own brands with centralised support for finance, hiring and best practice. Headquartered in Montreal, it has completed well over a hundred acquisitions and operates on the model that a small software business serving an unglamorous industry can be extremely durable if it is never asked to grow beyond its market.
