We recently participated in an event hosted by Cubo Itaú Uruguay, alongside Guyer & Regules and key players from the business ecosystem, to discuss how the M&A landscape is evolving within the technology sector. Lorena Veiga, Group Leader at Vesta LATAM, shared our perspective as acquirers of software companies. She highlighted some of the key attributes we consider throughout these processes, including recurring revenue, a strong team, ownership of the solutions’ intellectual property, and the importance of supporting business information with verifiable documentation. We also discussed what happens after an acquisition. Marie-France Bourgeois Wyaux shared her experience as part of GeneXus Consulting, one of our business units, which joined Vesta in 2021. It was a valuable morning of exchanging experiences and reflecting on the challenges and opportunities shaping the evolving M&A landscape in Uruguay and across the region. Thank you to Cubo Itaú and Guyer & Regules for creating this space for meaningful conversation.

This is how we experienced Vesta Play Night! 🎉 Last week, more than 100 people from our different business units in Uruguay came together at the offices of GEOCOM, one of the companies in the group, for a new edition of Vesta Connect. We recreated a live game show, putting our teams to the test through a series of fun challenges. It was a brilliant night of friendly competition, laughter and, most importantly, connection. Beyond the fun, Vesta Play Night gave us the chance to step away from our usual routines, spend time together and get to know colleagues from across the group a little better. Because when our BUs come together, we strengthen the connections that make Vesta what it is. 📸 Here are some highlights from a fun-filled evening! - ¡Así vivimos Vesta Play Night! 🎉 La semana pasada, más de 100 personas de nuestras distintas unidades de negocio en Uruguay se reunieron en las oficinas de GEOCOM, una de las empresas del grupo, para una nueva edición de Vesta Connect. Recreamos un programa de juegos en vivo, poniendo a prueba a nuestros equipos a través de una serie de divertidos desafíos. Fue una gran noche de competencia amistosa, risas y, sobre todo, conexión. Más allá de la diversión, Vesta Play Night nos dio la oportunidad de salir de nuestra rutina habitual, compartir tiempo juntos y conocer un poco mejor a compañeros de distintas áreas del grupo. Porque cuando nuestras unidades de negocio se unen, fortalecemos las conexiones que hacen de Vesta lo que es. 📸 Les compartimos algunos momentos de una noche llena de diversión #VestaSoftwareGroup #LATAM #Uruguay #SoftwareCompanies #Team

One week to go until ScaleupFest 2026, and we’re getting excited! 🚀 Our team is looking forward to two days of fresh perspectives, valuable conversations and new connections in Budapest. Kevin Morgan and Russell Armstrong will both be contributing to the programme. Kevin will share the strategic buyer perspective on what international acquirers look for in potential targets. Russell will discuss what we have learned from approaching the CEE region, what Vesta looked for in acquisition opportunities and how that approach led to us acquiring businesses in Hungary and across CEE. Outside the sessions, Kevin, Russell and the wider Vesta team will be on the ground throughout the event. We’re also pleased to be supporting ScaleupFest 2026 as the official headline partner. Will you be there? Connect with Kevin, Russell or the Vesta team here on LinkedIn to arrange a conversation during the event. 📍 ScaleupFest 2026 | 16 and 17 September | Budapest #ScaleupFest2026 #Software #MergersAndAcquisitions #VestaSoftwareGroup

Due diligence is one of those parts of the acquisition process that founders know is coming but aren't always sure how to prepare for. The scope of it can feel overwhelming, particularly if you haven't been through a sale before. But with the right preparation and a clear understanding of what's typically asked for, it's rarely as daunting as it sounds. We've put together a straightforward breakdown of what we look at during due diligence at Vesta, covering everything from financials and legal to IT, HR and commercial position. 🔗 You can read it here: https://lnkd.in/eHB5BePt #VestaSoftwareGroup #Software #SoftwareAcquisitions #DueDiligence

Our Chief Investment Officer, Kevin Morgan, is joining the speaker line-up at The ScaleupFest 2026 in Budapest! 👋 Kevin will draw on more than a decade of experience investing in and working with software businesses to share the strategic buyer perspective, exploring what makes CEE and SEE tech companies attractive acquisition targets and how buyers assess opportunities beyond the financial metrics. We’re also pleased to announce that Vesta Software Group is an official partner of this year’s event. Watch the video to hear more from Kevin. Interested in continuing the conversation? Connect with Kevin and the Vesta team here on LinkedIn - we’d love to talk. 📍 ScaleupFest 2026 | 16 and 17 September | Budapest #ScaleupFest2026 #Software #MergersAndAcquisitions #VestaSoftwareGroup
🎥 Another sneak peek into what we’ll be discussing at ScaleupFest 2026. This time, from our Transactions, Funding & Exits theme: what does it actually take for a CEE/SEE tech company to become an attractive acquisition target for strategic buyers outside the region? At ScaleupFest, we’ll look at the deal from both sides of the table: → What are strategic buyers really looking for in potential targets? → How do they assess companies – beyond the obvious financial metrics? → What makes a CEE/SEE company stand out, and what raises concerns? → How is the region perceived by international buyers? → And what should founders understand well before an exit is actually on the table? Check out Kevin’s message in the video for a quick preview 👇 At ScaleupFest, Kevin Morgan, Chief Investment Officer at Vesta Software Group, will bring the strategic buyer perspective, also joined by Gary Smith, Managing Director at Venture Corporate Finance and member of the GlobalTechMergers network, bringing the M&A advisor side of the equation. Together, they’ll take the topic much deeper in our session: Strategic buyers of DACH / UK: what they want, how they assess deals and targets. Perception about CEE / SEE. We’re also delighted to welcome Vesta Software Group – a global buy-and-hold acquirer of vertical market software businesses and part of Constellation Software – back as a long-time friend and returning guest of ScaleupFest, and this year as an official partner of the event. Great to have them back – and even better to have their buyer-side experience in the room. 📍 ScaleupFest 2026 | 16–17 September | Budapest
