The acquisition is the beginning.
Here's how we grow.

Investing in what you built.
Will never sell.

Banyan was built to be the opposite of private equity. We’re a permanent home operating with transparency to help companies reach their full potential. Over 100 companies acquired. Zero sold.

A support systems dedicated to your growth

Our Growth Ops team works alongside every Banyan company: AI, talent, sales and marketing, payments, product, finance, cybersecurity, and legal. Dozens of specialists with deep domain software expertise at your back.

Helping you win in the AI era.

AI is changing how software gets built, sold, and scaled. The companies that act now will lead their markets. We’re helping ours stay ahead. Our companies are building AI-native businesses, unlocking massive customer value, driving new revenue, and achieving a velocity many still don’t believe is possible.

Independence and a peer network most CEOs never get.

Our decentralized model keeps your team in control of day-to-day operations. But from day one, you and your leadership team are part of a peer network that gives you an unfair advantage. 100’s of software leaders, learning from one another.

"We rebuilt our software to be AI-native: not new workflows bolted onto the old UI, but a fundamentally new product. Early customers estimate it will save them 60%+ on labor time. We couldn't have moved at this pace without Banyan's AI team behind us."

Dean Carville,
CEO, ICONI

"We had a three-year plan before Banyan came along: launch payments, build a data lake, and expand internationally. Six months in, payments are live. The data lake has paying customers. We're expanding across Spain, Germany, Brazil, and South Africa, both organically and through acquisitions. It's like Banyan stocked the kitchen for us, and we're focused on being great chefs."

CEO, Host Hotel Systems
