Jaan Capital
Jaan: "Life" or "Loved One"
Who is Jaan Capital?
Jaan Capital is a fund seeking to acquire a single small to medium sized software or tech-enabled services business and lead the company to the next phase of growth. Jaan is focused on providing an owner with an exit opportunity to pursue a new venture, take a different role within the company, or retire, as well as be a thought partner to Raj post-acquisition.
"Jaan" is the Hindi word for "life" or "loved one" as a term of endearment. We know that in a small business it is the founder/owner's life's work. We appreciate that all small businesses have a significant amount of love invested into it, the team, vendors and the customers. It's not a transactional relationship.
Founded by Raj Mahajan, the fund aims to acquire a promising software or tech-enabled services company that needs energy, capital, and time. Jaan Capital's strategy centers around carrying a legacy and investing in the company and team to grow.
Once acquired, Raj will take an active role to lead the company, drive operational improvements and long-term value creation, primarily through increased sales and acquisitions. With a commitment to responsible stewardship, Raj aims to provide a seamless and mutually beneficial transition for the business, ensuring continued growth and success.

Jaan Capital is looking to acquire one business to acquire and grow. Raj will invest all of his time into building the company and expanding on what made it a great company to acquire. The ideal business has a good culture and market fit, where he can bring time, energy, and capital to grow it.
Not like the others
