“Banyan was founded with a belief that we could be the best possible permanent home in the world for successful software companies—and that we could build on what founders had worked so hard to create. Today, we proudly span the globe with a strong and consistently growing presence across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand. Our companies benefit from being part of a wider family of software businesses while retaining the culture and autonomy that has allowed them to serve their customers so well.”
David Berkal, CEO, Banyan Software
Founder David Berkal has a background as both an entrepreneur and as a traditional investor. But his time as an investor left him disheartened by the short-term mentality of many of these firms. Owners were often choosing between two bad options: selling to a competitor who was looking to drive profit by cutting costs, or to a traditional investment firm, who would resell the business a few years down the road. Banyan’s idea was to offer a third option.
David raised capital from a world-class group of entrepreneurs aligned on a vision of a permanent holding company for great software businesses. As a private company, Banyan can look beyond quarterly earnings and focus on doing the right things over the long-term.
“I am proud of what Intelligenz has achieved, and I’m confident that Banyan Software is the right partner to further unlock the company’s potential. The expertise and resources Banyan brings to the table will be instrumental as we move forward.”

“Banyan shares the same discipline and focus that I have prided myself on, and their core values mirror those of H&W. The integrity and desire to make it a better place were evident from the beginning, and with their resources and expertise, H&W can continue to excel for years to come. I can start this next chapter of my life knowing I have left my team and customers in the best hands possible!”

“From the outset, it was critical for us to find a trusted partner who not only understood our vision but also believed in the potential of our solutions. Banyan’s buy-and-hold for life model truly resonated with us, as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to long-term growth, customer success, and continued investment into our fantastic employee base.”
