[The vision]

What are we really all about?

We started Marathon with a vision to be the best possible owner for small software companies – to support and develop niche software companies that make their customers level up.

What we want

  1. We want to be the owner we ourselves would like to work for.

    Knowledgeable and supportive, with freedom and self-determination in our companies. The best possible owner for small software companies.

  2. Our companies improve the lives of their customers.

    They also improve the niches they work within. We boost our customers by constantly innovating.

  3. We contribute to a better world through better tools for our customers.

    And by taking care of our planet and of the people around us.

  4. We help our employees become even better.

    We bring in good people and help everyone grow and sharpen. You should be proud to work in Marathon.

It is lonely in small niches. In our group of software companies, all employees have inspiring peers.

We work to create forums for all employees at all levels – even if we have more structured forums for the leaders of our businesses, we want every single employee in our companies to find equals to share challenges and ideas with.
