Prytaneum Partners revives struggling software companies and rebuilds them into profitable, high-performing businesses.
We are actively seeking to buy distressed software companies. Get in touch if you need to sell.
Prytaneum is a new venture built by a core group of principals with shared execution experience, alongside senior leaders bringing decades of relevant experience from adjacent roles and sectors. Our experience spans private equity, technology, strategy and M&A, hands-on operational transformation, and institutional governance—enabling us to create durable value with speed and precision from otherwise illiquid or over-leveraged software companies.
At the center of our platform is a proprietary operating system—a hybrid corporate intelligence framework designed to compress M&A, project, and operational timelines from months to hours and from weeks to minutes. This system is the backbone for how we evaluate opportunities, execute transactions, and drive ongoing performance across acquired businesses.
The platform is reinforced by a network of specialists spanning technology M&A, portfolio company leadership, and institutional governance. The team brings deep experience across global markets, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. The Fund's current geographic focus is North America, Europe, and the EU/UK, with investments outside these regions evaluated on a selective basis in light of economic and geopolitical considerations.
What’s in a name? The Prytaneum was the power center of every great ancient Greek city-state—the place where strategy was set, decisions were made, and futures were built. We are the Prytaneum for the companies we buy: full control, zero chaos, and a mandate to create lasting value.
Disciplined M&A execution with a single purpose: reviving distressed software businesses and returning them to durable, cash-generating performance. We acquire illiquid and over-leveraged software companies in the $10–20 million revenue range and rebuild them from the inside out through direct ownership, active management, and operational control.
As the operating arm of the Valkyrie Revival Fund, we hold 100% equity and control of each investment and operate without leverage or passive oversight. We fund and manage our portfolio companies directly, supporting them through a centralized shared-services platform. There are no industry advisory boards or external consultants—only direct accountability from the people running the business.
Unmatched Speed. Precise. Repeatable. Our proprietary AI platform compresses weeks of sourcing and diligence into minutes. Decades of operating experience are baked into every filter, flag, and signal we run.
Revival at Scale. We don't advise—we rebuild. Prytaneum Partners replaces complexity with operational precision, restructuring every company for margin, sustainability, and long-term performance.
Total Control. From code to culture, we install AI-Native systems that produce sustainable margins, repeatable playbooks, and operational precision.
When we revive a business, our priority is continuity—protecting the service, product, and support our customers rely on, while building for their long-term success.
A stronger financial foundation designed to support long-term service continuity.
When we acquire a business, we replace a distressed financial model with a stable operating foundation. This revival is led by an experienced team focused on long-term stewardship—maintaining continuity, improving reliability, and ensuring the product customers depend on remains supported and improved over time.
A disciplined product roadmap shaped around the existing customer base.
Revival creates the opportunity to invest in our customers who rely on the product. Our engineering efforts return to what matters most: delivering value to current customers. Roadmap priorities are clarified, distractions are reduced, and customer input plays a central role in shaping what gets built and improved next.
Support, uptime, and responsiveness treated as core operating priorities.
Our revival process is designed to preserve continuity first. Transitions are managed carefully to maintain service levels, with support, uptime, and responsiveness treated as essential—not optional—throughout the revival and beyond.
