High-growth identity and data solutions provider serving agencies and automotive enterprises enters next phase with Banyan Software

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Launch Labs, a high-growth marketing technology and data solutions provider specializing in identity resolution, audience activation, and marketing attribution, today announced its acquisition by Banyan Software, a leading acquirer and permanent home for successful software businesses.

The acquisition marks a significant milestone for Launch Labs, which has experienced rapid expansion since its founding in 2020, including 614% three-year revenue growth and recognition on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, where it ranked in the top 14% nationally and #2 in the Durham–Chapel Hill region.

Banyan Software, founded in 2016, follows a buy-and-hold-for-life philosophy, acquiring and supporting mission-critical software businesses with dominant positions in niche verticals. Launch Labs will join Banyan’s growing portfolio of vertical SaaS companies and continue operating independently under its existing leadership team.

By combining advanced identity resolution, actionable data intelligence, audience activation, and marketing attribution, the company has rapidly expanded and established itself as a trusted partner for measurable, performance-driven growth.

“Launch Labs has built a platform that helps organizations translate complex audience data into clear, measurable action,” said Tristan Jordan, Operating Partner at Banyan Software. “Garrett and his team have built a company with the technical foundation and ambition to shape that future, and we’re proud to partner with them for the long term as they expand the ways they enable customers to identify high-intent audiences, activate smarter engagement, and measure performance with precision.”

Advancing Vertical Focus and Innovation

Launch Labs will continue to operate from its headquarters in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with its existing leadership team remaining in place to ensure continuity for employees, partners, and customers.
