M&A Intern - 12 Month Placement - Summer 2027 Start
Valsoft’s mission is to acquire and nurture vertical software businesses that deliver mission-critical solutions in their niche markets. Since 2015, over 150 businesses we acquired, and the global team now comprises more than 4,000 employees across 20+ countries. The unique model fosters an environment of rapid growth, providing you with unparalleled opportunities to shape your career.
Fluent Software Group is an operating group within Valsoft Corporation, built for the AI era. We acquire specialist vertical software companies, embed AI across their products and operations, and build new AI-native companies of our own.
Our businesses serve niche markets where software is mission-critical, from charity retail and grant management to social housing, publishing, print production and construction materials. The group includes more than 25 companies across 20+ vertical markets and 10+ countries, among them nine specialist software businesses in the UK and Europe.
At Fluent Software Group, we believe great software comes from great people. That is why we built The Fluent Way, a shared standard for how we work and grow together.
