About the company

Valsoft is a company that buys software businesses that serve specific, essential industries (like automotive and broadcasting) and helps them grow over the long term. It focuses on vertical market software—programs that are built for a particular industry—and keeps the acquired companies independent while giving them extra resources, best practices, and access to a global network. The core idea is to improve how these software businesses operate and expand their reach, rather than building new products from scratch. The main way Valsoft works is to purchase a niche software company, streamline its operations, and partner with the existing management team to drive steady growth. This approach sets Valsoft apart from others by emphasizing patient, long-term ownership and collaboration within a diverse portfolio of niche software. The goal is to create durable, profitable companies that continue to serve their essential customers efficiently and expand into new markets.

Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Newburyport, Massachusetts, Firebrand Technologies provides title management and metadata software publishers use to plan, manage, and distribute book data to retailers and trading partners around the world. Its flagship platform, Title Management Enterprise, runs the publishing workflow from acquisition through publication, keeping schedules, rights, costs, and metadata in one system of record.

Together, the three companies serve publishers of every size, from the Big Five to independent, university, and religious presses, along with the booksellers, librarians, educators, reviewers, and media who discover and promote new titles. "Firebrand, NetGalley, and Supadu are trusted names that publishers depend on every day. We're ecstatic to continue building and investing in the technology that helps a title from the moment it's created to the moment it reaches a reader. We're excited to partner with the passionate team that shows up every day to make life better and more productive for everyone in the book industry," said Anthony Caruso, Managing Partner at Valsoft. Firebrand, NetGalley, and Supadu will continue to operate autonomously, with their leadership teams and employees remaining in place. As part of the Valsoft ecosystem, the companies will benefit from shared expertise, operational support, and long-term investment, while preserving their entrepreneurial culture and strong customer focus.
