Skoyen Software secures £4m to acquire founder-led SaaS firms

Acquiring and scaling established B2B SaaS businesses is the primary focus of Skoyen Software Ltd, which has secured an estimated £4m in new funding. Based in Towcester, the company operates as a long-term investor and acquirer, providing permanent capital to software firms across the UK and Europe.

Founded in 2024, Skoyen Software targets founder-led companies that have reached a stage of profitability and generate annual revenues between £1m and £10m. The firm positions itself as a sustainable alternative to traditional venture capital or private equity, focusing on long-term growth rather than short-term exit strategies.

The recent funding round involved an estimated £4m (with an allotment date in April and filing in May). This capital supports the company's mission to provide a permanent home for software businesses where founders may be looking for liquidity or a partner to help manage the next phase of growth.

According to the company's latest financial accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, Skoyen Software employed two people. As the company was incorporated in 2024, these figures reflect its initial setup phase. The firm solves the problem of succession and sustainable scaling for SaaS founders who want to see their products continue to develop under stable ownership.

By focusing on the £1m to £10m revenue bracket, Skoyen Software fills a gap for profitable B2B software companies that are often too small for large-scale private equity but too mature for early-stage venture capital. The firm maintains a focus on business and domestic software development.
