We don’t follow trends. We focus on the fundamentals: real companies, solving real problems, with lasting results.
Because Software Can, and Should, Protect Our Planet.
At Dorado, sustainability isn’t just a sector we serve. It’s the reason we exist. We invest in businesses that are building smarter, leaner, and more resilient systems across critical industries including energy transition, agriculture, supply chain, and textiles.
The accelerating adoption of renewable energy and grid modernization
Global urgency around climate resilience, resource efficiency, and sustainable development
Rising demand for tools that manage environmental impact, compliance, and ESG reporting
Shifting regulatory and stakeholder expectations around emissions, waste, and transparency
Advancements in AI, IoT, and cloud technologies that power sustainability at scale

We believe software is one of the more powerful levers for environmental progress. And we’re here to help build the companies leading that charge.
Sustainability isn’t a box we check. It’s embedded in how we invest, operate, and support growth. When a company joins Dorado, we help deepen its sustainability contribution through:
Encouraging thoughtful growth strategies that align with environmental and regulatory priorities.
Our portfolio spans industries where software can drive real progress, whether by enabling more sustainable production, improving resource efficiency, or helping customers meet compliance and reporting standards. We’re here to amplify what’s working, scale what’s possible, and invest in solutions that serve both the planet and performance.
We measure success in decades, not quarters. Our role is to create conditions for companies to thrive, now and far into the future. That means:
Keeping brands and cultures intact
Supporting leadership transitions
Sharing best practices across the portfolio and constellation
Investing in operational excellence
We believe sustainability isn’t just what our companies do. It’s how we operate.
We back software companies that serve the world’s most essential systems, including energy, water, agrifood, agriculture, supply chain, and apparel and textiles. These are not trend-driven plays; they are lasting, mission-critical markets where technology has the power to reduce impact, increase efficiency, and regenerate what matters most.
We seek out vertical market software businesses with a clear purpose, proven traction, and leadership that plays the long game. We partner with founders who care about people and the planet, and with companies that solve real problems in sectors that move the world forward.
We invest in sustainability-aligned software across four key domains:
Joining Dorado is a long-term commitment to growth, to impact, and to the legacy of what each founder has built.
We acquire businesses to preserve what’s working and strengthen what’s possible, giving companies the tools and support to reach their next level without losing their independence or identity.
Each company remains in control of its direction, backed by a network of experts, peers, and shared operational insights.
We know selling your business is more than a transaction, it’s a turning point. If you’re exploring what’s next, we’re ready to have a real conversation. No pressure. No push. Just a thoughtful exchange about your goals and how we might help support them.
Dorado is more than a portfolio. It’s a permanent home for software companies shaping a more sustainable world.
