About Parabolic

Operators first.
AI at the core.

Parabolic acquires, operates, and scales AI Application companies — founded by operators, engineers, and investors who believe the next generation of great software will be defined by how deeply AI is woven into its DNA.

Mission

Bringing AI to the Enterprise.

We believe every great software company of the next decade will be AI-native — not because AI was added, but because it was built in. Our job is to find established products the market has overlooked, rebuild them from the inside out, and operate them with the discipline of a long-term owner.

Our products reach millions of people every year across webinars, video, app development, and sales. Each company is run by its own dedicated team, backed by shared capital, engineering, and go-to-market muscle from Parabolic.

How we operate

We hold, operate, and grow.

We are not a fund with an exit clock. We buy companies to keep them, and our team embeds directly with each one on product, growth, and go-to-market. Intelligence goes into every layer of the product; operating rigour goes into every layer of the business.

We go deep in the verticals we know — webinars, video, app development, and sales — rather than spreading thin.

Core values

Values we actually use.

These aren't wall decorations. They're how we make decisions, respond to problems, and build our culture — at Parabolic and across every company we operate.

  • Learning

    We constantly challenge ourselves to get better, so we can serve our customers better. Curiosity is a job requirement.

  • Serving Others

    We exceed expectations for our customers, our teammates, our families, and our communities. Service is the work, not a side of it.

  • 10,000 Years

    We think long-term. We hold and operate our companies, and we build a legacy that outlasts any single product, quarter, or trend.

  • Game Changing

    We push boundaries, take calculated risks, and refuse to be paralysed by indecision. The next great software companies won't be built cautiously.

Culture

People like working here.

What our teams say about us, in their own reviews.

We are remote-first and always have been. What holds the company together is not an office but a set of habits: clear ownership, direct feedback, and the expectation that everyone learns something new every quarter.
