Beyond Capital Partners Fund II, a fund advised by Beyond Capital Partners GmbH, has acquired through its portfolio company Soft & Cloud GmbH 100% of the assets of SB Software-Broker GmbH. The closing of the acquisition has been accomplished at the end of December 2023.
Soft & Cloud is thus becoming the leading provider in the used standard software segment in Germany. Through the acquisition and integration of SB Software-Broker, Soft & Cloud will position itself even more broadly in the large corporate segment and will be able to access a total of around 10,000 B2B-customers. In the future, the key account sales division will be managed by Christian Dransfeld, founder and managing director of SB Software-Broker.
Together with the operational growth measures already implemented in 2023, such as the opening of the second location in Munich, the doubling of the sales team and the release of the new online portal, Soft & Cloud is in a position to continue implementing its expansion strategy in a focused manner and actively serve B2B customers from other target markets in Europe with digital solutions for used standard software in the future.

Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen is one of the leading German forest nurseries for the cultivation of premium forest seedlings and grows many millions of seedlings annually on more than 100 hectares, on which a wide range of tree species, including sweet chestnut, oak, spruce, service tree and Douglas fir, are nursed. The forest tree nursery has been supplying municipalities, states as well as other nurseries and private forest owners since 1938 and has grown continuously in recent years. Our location in Halstenbek is the largest forest tree nursery region in Germany and is considered the “cradle of the forest” due to the fertile soil and optimal microclimatic conditions.
Forest tree nurseries are an important subgroup of tree nurseries and operate around 12% of Germany’s total tree nursery area. Overall, forest nurseries play a central role in the fight against climate change, as they are an integral part of the reforestation of German forests. At the same time, they enable companies to become more sustainable and achieve climate targets. Demand for seedlings for forestry plants has risen accordingly. The German forest relieves the atmosphere of 62 million tons of CO2 every year.
The aim is to further accelerate the impressive growth of Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen together with Beyond Capital Partners and to continue its expansion through selective acquisitions.
