Why sell

Let's address what's actually on your mind

Will someone else change what I built?

Ben Dorks our CEO founded a business that was acquired by Ideagen. The founders who built SafetyStratus, Mail Manager, Damstra, Authenticate and many more, are still here working to grow the business, still influencing decisions, still talking to their customers.

We acquired their businesses because they work.

You'll have more resources and strategic support. But the business you built? It’s still yours to run if that’s what you want.

What happens to my people?

This is probably your biggest concern - whether your team will be okay.

Over 80% of colleagues from acquired companies are still with Ideagen. Not because they're locked in, but because they're growing their careers here. Your engineers become principal architects across multiple products. Your head of customer success moves into a regional role. Your product managers start influencing roadmap across the portfolio.

Your team doesn't just continue. They advance.

Will my customers be looked after?

Your reputation in the market is built on how you've served them. Their loyalty is built on trust that when something breaks at 3am, you'll answer.

That doesn't change. They get the same service from the same people with the same commitment - backed by deeper resources and continued investment. Many discover opportunities to connect your solution with other Ideagen tools that help them even more.

Your customers don't just get continuity. They get enhancement.

Do I have to stay if I don't want to?

No. Some founders transition over a number of months and move on to their next adventure. Others have been with us for years because they finally have the resources to build what customers have been asking for.

We structure deals around what you actually want, not our template. Want to retire? We'll plan for that. Want to stay and finally tackle that development roadmap you've been building toward? We'll back that.

Resources that actually unlock growth

We're backed by long-term investors who share our view that regulated industries need specialist software companies built for the long haul. Building businesses that matter.

Not vague promises about synergies. Real capabilities to unlock growth:

R&D budget to rebuild that legacy module customers have been demanding
Sales teams in the US, Europe, ANZ - markets that require scale to crack
Marketing infrastructure that generates pipeline, not just pretty brochures
Integration playbook refined through dozens of acquisitions
Finance, HR, legal, compliance support so you can focus on product and customers

Be a part of the best

We have the market-leading platform for compliance and quality software in regulated industries. Our AI capability is ranked top by multiple analysts. Your business becomes a permanent part of that. You can tell your customers, your team, your industry what happened without apologizing for it.

You didn't sell out. You scaled up.

We've put together a straightforward guide covering what we look for in acquisition partners, how the process works, and what happens after you join the Ideagen family. No jargon, just honest answers.
