About Banyan Software
What is Banyan Software?
Banyan Software acquires and permanently holds enterprise software businesses. The company was "founded on one simple but powerful mission: to help successful software businesses continue thriving long into the future," and its model is explicitly long-term: "We buy and hold successful enterprise software businesses and grow them for life."
Banyan positions itself as the antithesis of a typical buyout firm — "Banyan was built to be the opposite of private equity. We're a permanent home operating with transparency," with a track record it sums up bluntly: "Over 100 companies acquired. Zero sold." Across the group it "operates more than 100 portfolio companies across North America, the UK, EU, and APAC." Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Atlanta, Banyan is Great Place to Work Certified, a five-time Inc. 5000 honoree, and a top-10 company on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. It has also endowed the Banyan Software Foundation with "a $100 million commitment of stock," making the foundation one of the company's largest shareholders.
Where will I work?
Banyan is globally distributed, with "local teams and offices across the USA, Canada, Brazil, the UK, Europe, and Australia." Its CEO describes "a strong and consistently growing presence across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand." The Atlanta HQ anchors a hybrid model — HoldCo roles typically run a "hybrid work model with 2 work-from-home days per week," while Toronto-based roles are hybrid with three days on-site.
What is the Banyan team like?
Banyan runs a deliberately "decentralized model" that "keeps your team in control of day-to-day operations" — acquired companies keep their identity and leadership. Five stated values guide how teams work: Win as a Team, Accountable Ownership, Take Action, Authentic Leadership, and Enduring Impact. The same long-term philosophy applies to people: in an employee's words on the careers page, "Banyan's philosophy of investing for the long term applies to people just as much as acquisitions." Each year the company gathers globally for its Annual HQ Summit to connect and celebrate.
Work-Life Balance
Banyan runs a standard full-time week and is Great Place to Work Certified — on its own careers page, "89% of Banyan employees say the company is a great place to work, compared to just 57% at a typical company." The hybrid model provides regular work-from-home days, and the company offers two paid volunteer days a year for community service.
