Comet Software Accelerates with Four Strategic Acquisitions

Four vertical software acquisitions

These acquisitions strengthen Comet Software’s position across vertical markets in construction, pharmacy, financial services, and consumer goods. The group now reaches €14 million in consolidated revenue with an EBITDA margin above 30%, serving over 5,000 clients and employing around 100 people in France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

By joining Comet Software, the companies will continue to operate autonomously, preserving their entrepreneurial DNA, while benefiting from tailored operational and financial support to accelerate long-term growth. Their founders and executives have also reinvested a significant amount into Comet Software, becoming co-shareholders of the group.

Beyond these first four acquisitions, Comet Software intends to maintain its rapid growth and is targeting €100 million in revenue by 2027. The group is currently in discussions with several additional software publishers in French-speaking Europe.

A strong community of vertical software entrepreneurs

Axel Jonsson, co-founder and CEO of Comet Software, stated:

“Cover 3D, MeSoigner, Silicon DNA, and Statigest are all market leaders founded by outstanding entrepreneurs and led by talented teams. We value the expertise and deep market knowledge they bring, and we are proud to welcome them into Comet Software. They will keep their identity and independence, while benefiting from the group’s operational and financial support to deliver the best products and services to their clients, and the best working environment for their teams.
