Mountview Partners
Mountview Partners was established in 2017 by Andy Wigderson and Jonathan Ross. Their capital originated from the 2015 sale of CSI Software to Daxko. The firm functions as a multi-family office that acquires and holds vertical software businesses. Mountview targets B2B vertical software companies with $1M–$10M ARR and positive or near-positive cash flow. It executes buyouts and direct co-investments in Enterprise Software and HRTech. Confirmed positions include TargetRecruit, sold to Bullhorn, and CSI Software, sold to Daxko. The firm operates exclusively in North America and maintains a principal-to-principal acquisition process. The team consists of the two founders plus Reena Gupta as Chief Strategy Officer at TargetRecruit. Mountview maintains two family foundations, the D&N Ross Family Foundation and the Ross Family Foundation. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. Mountview differs from typical family offices through its explicit rejection of fund structures and committee processes. Decisions rest with the named principals who underwrite and close directly. This architecture supports indefinite holding periods for acquired software platforms.
