A Different Kind of Software Group

We empower software companies with the capital and expertise they need without forcing them to sacrifice their independence or vision.

Driven by Our ABCs and Backed by Billions

PYXiS is part of Jonas Software, a division of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX:CSU), one of the world's most successful software companies.‍

Founded in 1995 by Mark Leonard, Constellation Software started as a small investment firm focused on acquiring and growing vertical market software businesses. Over the decades, it has expanded into a global powerhouse with a proven strategy of acquiring and holding businesses for the long term. This heritage gives us the stability and patience to think in decades, not quarters.

We operate on three core principles—the PYXiS ABCs—that set us apart from traditional acquirers:
  • Autonomy: Companies that join PYXiS maintain operational independence and their unique culture.
  • Buy and Hold Forever: We've never sold a company, and we never will.
  • Culture of Sharing Best Practices: Our portfolio companies benefit from collective experience while charting their own course.

A Guiding Light for Software Companies

Our name comes from the constellation Pyxis, also known as the navigator's compass. The name reflects our purpose: guiding software companies safely to a harbor where they can flourish for generations.

Today, our constellation includes 28 companies across 10 verticals spanning 14 countries. Each maintains its unique place in the market while drawing strength from being part of something larger.

Why Join the PYXiS Family?

Unlike traditional acquirers, we're building something that lasts. Our approach combines the stability of permanent ownership with the freedom for companies to chart their own course.

Accelerate Growth Without Sacrificing Independence

Break through growth barriers with access to proven playbooks, specialized expertise, and financial resources unavailable to most independent software companies. Our decentralized structure means you can leverage these advantages while maintaining operational control.

Create New Opportunities for Your Team

Employees who join the PYXiS family gain access to a global network of software professionals who have faced similar challenges, creating natural mentorship opportunities, cross-company collaboration, and career advancement paths that simply weren't possible before.

Preserve What Makes Your Company Special

We're interested in your business to support what you've built, not dismantle it. Your brand identity, company culture, and relationship with customers will remain intact, with the added benefit of resources and stability that come from being part of something larger.

Join a Community of Shared Wisdom

Tap into the collective experience of software leaders who've overcome the same obstacles you're facing. Through our best practices network, you'll gain insights that might have taken years to discover on your own while maintaining the freedom to implement them in ways that work for your unique business.
