A Letter From Cem
Dear Fellow Entrepreneurs and Software Creators,
Throughout my 25+ year journey in the software and SaaS industry, I've experienced firsthand the passion, dedication, and countless hours that go into building a successful software business. As a founder who has built and scaled multiple software and SaaS companies, I understand the emotional and practical challenges of deciding what's next for your creation.
That's why I founded Kayra with a simple mission: to provide software creators with a fair and respectful exit path while ensuring their products continue to thrive. Unlike traditional acquirers who often strip products for parts or drastically change their direction, I believe in preserving and enhancing what made your software special in the first place.
Our approach is different. We focus on smaller, established software businesses with $1,000-$15,000 in monthly revenue β products that larger acquirers often overlook but that have real value and loyal customers. We see the potential in these businesses and are committed to growing them thoughtfully.
The name "Kayra" comes from Turkic mythology, representing creation and nurturing growth β precisely what we aim to do with each business we acquire. We don't just buy software; we invest in its future, its customers, and its continued impact.
If you've built something valuable and are considering your next steps, I'd welcome a conversation. Whether you're ready for a new venture, seeking more life balance, or simply feel your product needs fresh energy to reach its potential, we might be the right home for your software business.
I look forward to hearing your story.

Cem Hurturk
Founder & CEO, Kayra LLC
