Our story started when Jak, a former venture capitalist and successful tech entrepreneur, crossed paths with Justin, who brought his expertise as a former hedge fund investor and current operations leader. Both had spent years navigating the challenges of the finance and technology world—building, scaling, exiting, and frequently struggling with different software ventures.

During a series of discussions, they realized they shared a common belief: that many niche software businesses had untapped potential, but lacked the right resources, expertise, or incentive environment to break through to the next level. With this realization, Duralumin Holdings was born.

Our mission is to elevate niche software businesses, unlocking their full potential through best-in-class operational playbooks and creating enduring value for owners and investors.

What sets us apart is our hands-on approach. We don’t just acquire companies; we become their partners in success with a very long time horizon. We work closely with existing teams, deeply valuing the unique cultures and visions of the businesses we acquire, while introducing the tools, strategies, and insights necessary to improve sustainably.

Each acquisition is treated as a partnership—a collaborative effort where our expertise in business strategy, technology, and operations converges with the entrepreneurial spirit of the companies we bring into our fold.
