## The Firm

Valsoft Corporation is a Montreal holding company founded in 2015 by Sam Youssef that acquires and operates vertical-market software businesses, the mission-critical tools for a specific industry rather than broad horizontal apps. It now spans more than thirty vertical markets with a presence in over twenty countries, and it has been the most active strategic SaaS buyer in the market for two years running, closing sixteen acquisitions in 2025 alone.

Its model is permanent-hold: Valsoft states it has no predefined investment horizon and instead buys, holds, and builds value through long-term partnerships with the management teams it acquires, letting each company keep its own brand and entrepreneurial character. That makes it a buyer that does not flip, which matters to a founder weighing where a business ends up.

For a searcher weighing a small vertical-software business, Valsoft is the most prolific competing bidder in the trade and a standing exit. Its 2025 deals ranged from three niche marketplaces and tools carved out of SOVRA to Quorum, a roughly $60 million automotive-dealership SaaS, showing both the founder-scale software it collects and the ceiling it will reach for.

Read again in September 2026: twenty-one purchases the registry lacked, five of them since June and a listed Calgary company closed in December 2025, at a pace of two a month. Since October 2025 the releases go out under operating group names on the firm's own newsroom, whose list page shows six cards while its search index holds two hundred.

## Confirmed Deals

Deals traced to announcements, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
