Over the next several decades, we aim to acquire and grow dozens of additional companies.

Behind Our Name Merit is inspired by the saying “To get what you want, you need to deserve what you want” (Charlie Munger). It’s an attitude that pursuing excellence is worthwhile and a conviction that there is always room for growth. It’s a belief that small actions matter and when done consistently over time build credibility, trust, and positive outcomes. The Merit Mentality represents a challenge to our team and companies and an expectation to always strive to be “worthy” of those we work with (whether its sellers, employees, customers, partners or even living up to our own potential). We also believe this mentality is the foundation for good business especially in recurring software. It’s what we look for in the companies we buy and operate and a philosophy we hope to bring to everything we do.
