Simon

Software Investor

Berlin, Germany

Dedicated and analytically driven software investor with a strong focus on B2B technology businesses, particularly within the mobility and infrastructure sectors. As part of Modaxo, the global mobility portfolio of Constellation Software, I support the acquisition and long-term development of vertical software companies across Europe. With a background in Tech M&A, I bring a structured and detail-oriented approach to evaluating investment opportunities — from deep financial and commercial analysis to hands-on execution. I particularly enjoy working closely with founders to understand product-market fit, strategic positioning, and long-term growth potential. Key competencies include: financial modelling and valuation, KPI and retention analyses (with a focus on SaaS and recurring revenue models), preparation of investment materials, coordination of due diligence workstreams, and full process execution from first engagement to closing
