Tiny Capital ↗
Tiny Capital is a Canadian holding company founded in 2018, known for buy-and-hold acquisitions of internet businesses and SaaS products at various sizes. Like Stakyo, Tiny operates products long-term rather than seeking exits.
Difference: Tiny acquires across a broader range of business types and sizes, including larger established companies. Stakyo focuses on bootstrapped SaaS in the under $100k ARR segment with a hybrid build-and-acquire model.
This allows Stakyo to enter earlier and capture value before businesses reach acquisition-scale pricing.
SureSwift Capital ↗
SureSwift Capital is a Vancouver-based holding company that acquires bootstrapped SaaS businesses, typically in the $250k–$3M ARR range. Like Stakyo, SureSwift focuses on the small-to-mid SaaS segment with operator-led management.
Difference: SureSwift is acquisition-only and operates higher-ARR products. Stakyo combines acquisition with in-house builds and targets smaller, earlier-stage SaaS where operational improvements compound faster.
This enables faster iteration and higher relative impact from each optimization.
Constellation Software ↗
Constellation Software is a publicly-traded Canadian holding company that has acquired hundreds of vertical-market software businesses since 1995. The company is the canonical example of decentralized SaaS roll-up at scale.
Difference: Constellation operates at enterprise scale across vertical-market software with corporate-level acquisitions. Stakyo operates at the opposite end — micro SaaS at the bootstrapped tier — applying compounding logic to smaller, faster-iterating products.
At this scale, small optimizations create disproportionately large returns.
