2nd Chasm Companies

We acquire 2nd Chasm Companies and usher them into a new phase of profitable growth

Our seasoned in-house investment and functional leadership teams are uniquely positioned to identify and create value in 2nd chasm software and data companies. We see opportunity in companies with strong product offerings that create real value for their customers, but have stalled in their trajectory. We bring a systematic transformation and value creation approach based on decades of experience as investors, entrepreneurs, and operators that allows us to help these companies find a new trajectory for their next phase of growth.

Corporate Carve-Outs

We acquire subsidiaries of both public and private companies with unmatched speed and certainty, closing carve-out acquisitions in weeks not months

Our experienced team runs a seamless and proprietary process that allows us to complete carve-out due diligence and day 1 preparation concurrently with minimal friction and unparalleled speed. We pride ourselves in delivering a high-quality company, employee and customer experience with no disruptions. Our expertise in quickly building and managing global teams allows us to uniquely accelerate the process of transforming a carve-out business unit into an independent standalone business.

Ionic creates extraordinary value through a product-led investment thesis, leveraging a cloud-first global workforce, building elastic infrastructure and business systems, and infusing world-class operating best practices into the daily workflow of our companies. We are operators and investors with deep industry expertise and we focus exclusively on acquiring “2nd Chasm” companies – companies with strong product offerings that are either orphaned within larger parent companies or constrained in their ability to operate and grow as stand-alone companies

Cloud-based Global Teams

We are experts in global remote work and transform each and every one of the companies that we acquire into a global, remote organization

We recruit, hire, and train teams remotely, and manage teams with a cloud-first infrastructure and approach. This expertise in accessing the global talent pool is a key enabler to our success with both 2nd chasm and carve-out companies. It allows us to grow quickly and efficiently, bringing together the best people and ideas from around the world
