Join a constellation of software services companies

Brilliant individually. Stronger collectively. 

Let’s begin with a conversation

How we grow together

Helmes invests in exceptional software development businesses, helping them thrive for the long term. 

When you join our constellation, you join a decentralised network of entrepreneurial leaders who share knowledge and resources, creating a more impactful collective without sacrificing independence. 

We acquire a majority stake and empower you to grow. You retain meaningful ownership and operational independence. 

Let’s build a brighter future together. 

Why software entrepreneurs choose us

Real partnerships

At Helmes, your business is not absorbed into a hierarchy.

You join a decentralized network of entrepreneurial companies where autonomy is respected, decisions stay close to the team, and bureaucracy stays out of the way.

“What stood out most was the autonomy and trust given to our teams. The freedom to make critical operational decisions independently has been key to driving performance improvements efficiently.”
Partner,

“I was pleasantly surprised by how aligned our cultures were from the start. Beyond the tremendous trust we received, what really stood out were the available benefits from being part of Helmes – access to best practices, coaching and joint-opportunities that amplified our impact.”
Partner,
Helmes Lithuania

Strategic value creation

Access to 1,500+ talented industry professionals and fellow entrepreneurs across Europe!

Gain an extended team for knowledge sharing, joint business development, and operational support when you want it. Suddenly your company operates with the resources of a much larger organization, without losing its independence. 

Realise part of your success

You’ve built something meaningful. We help you to secure part of that life’s work, by taking some risk off the table without taking yourself out of the story. With a supportive partner behind you, we empower you to invest more boldly in long-term growth. 

“Joining Helmes exceeded our expectations. With minimal control from the group, we found new motivation to double down on growth initiatives, while continuing to build our business our way.”
Founder,
Trinidad Wiseman
