      Fascinating article about outsourced developer and software buyout billionaire Joe Liemandthttps://twitter.com/caseyames/status/1218937099413532672 …

      “Crossover has amassed an army of 5,000 workers in 131 countries from Ukraine to Pakistan to Egypt. In the past 12 years, ESW has quietly acquired some 75 software companies, mostly in the U.S., and it exports as many as 150 high-tech jobs every week.” https://buff.ly/2PGa3wR

      They stopped buying software companies after Q2 of 2019. Not much info on why.

      Hmm. Crazy that they and the other big buyer of software, Robert Smith's firm, are both based in Austin.

      Very different models between ESW (cigar butt puffs with sweatshop style labor) and Vista (classic pe).

      Interesting, didn't know that. This model has definitely become in vogue recently. There's something off to me about Robert Smith though.

      Definitely (on the model) though building by acquisition seems to always be in vogue. It does seem like folks are finding niches, however.

      I know of Constellation, but not of any others. Haven't read these yet, but they look good and I've bookmarked them for later reading:https://twitter.com/TravisWiedower/status/1158736781203976192 …

      I finished reading all the Constellation Software letters – some of the best in the business. Mark Leonard might be the most intellectually honest CEO I’ve come across. I took 11 pages worth of notes! If you’ve ever wanted the SparkNotes version of these letters, here are mine.

      I had never heard of Computer Associates before I read the article that spawned this conversation. That's pretty cool. A bunch of companies tried to roll up my space (Amazon e-commerce) and they've been eviscerated by weak returns to scale, Amazon squeeze, and Chinese.

      Wow. I wish they would have called me first before trying that. When the platform is owned by someone else and they control your margin, it ain't going to end well!

      It's worse than that. You have China to tango with as well. Also, there's an epidemic of Fortune 500 former execs buying these businesses from younger guys with SBA Loans and then within 2-3 years being forced to declare bankruptcy because they're getting eaten alive.
