The AI-native holding company for mission-critical software, acquiring and evolving the software businesses that power the everyday economy.
Circeus is an AI-native holding company that acquires and evolves mission-critical software for the AI era. Through a centralised AI platform deployed across its portfolio, the company helps expand software from systems of record into systems of action. Circeus focuses on software powering the everyday economy, serving 200,000+ customers worldwide and helping them work smarter, scale faster, and stay ahead. Circeus is backed by leading global institutional investors. In June 2026, the group introduced Circeus as its holding company brand. Shop Circle continues as Circeus's retail and commerce software division.
Circeus acquires and evolves vertical and workflow software businesses that the everyday economy runs on, connecting each acquisition to a centralised AI capability built once and deployed across the whole group. The model compounds: every acquisition adds products, data and distribution, while shared AI infrastructure drives revenue, retention and margin expansion across the portfolio. The group has completed 18 acquisitions over four years, serves more than 200,000 businesses worldwide, and has raised over $220m of total capital to date. Circeus acquires to hold, not to flip, offering founders a permanent home for their businesses.
