Spring Street Capital

It's Sanket here, Founder and Managing Partner of Spring Street Capital.

I started this firm to be the buyer I always hoped for when selling my own software businesses.

One with deep software operating expertise and a genuine, long-term commitment to my people, customers, and legacy behind the product.

Growing up in Australia, I watched my parents pour everything into our family business. My dad worked hard — not just to keep the lights on, but because he genuinely cared about the people around him.

It always stuck with me. A great business is built on a great product, but held together by great people. Employees committed to doing good work. Customers who believed early. A community that showed up when it counted.

That foundation, plus a love of technology, pushed me into startups. I built two software companies, scaled them, and eventually sold them. And selling, as it turns out, was no walk in the park.

Some buyers were great. Plenty were not. Nothing frustrated me more than a finance person claiming to understand my business better than I did — then using that to chip the offer.

Timelines dragged. Terms shifted. Stress piled up. And through all of it, my biggest worry was never the money. It was my team. My customers. The people who'd backed me from day one.

After going through that twice, it was obvious that software founders needed (and deserved) a better exit that was tailored to us.

We need someone who:

Not only understands how hard it is to build quality enterprise software, but it respects it.
The engineering team would rally behind, not tolerate just to keep their jobs.
Has the patience to tailor a simple, honest exit that meets our personal goals, and a stellar track record of building software to ensure our life's work is in good hands.

So I moved to the US where most of the software founders I admired were operating, and started Spring Street Capital to carry software businesses forward the right way.

We keep things simple and offer a fair price. Our partnerships come with deep software operating expertise and a genuine, long-term commitment to serving your people, customers, and legacy behind your product.

Today, Spring Street is backed by some of the best software operators and institutional investors in the world. We bring the capital, open our networks, and invest in your people so they stay and grow.

If you're thinking about your next chapter, I'd love to chat.
