Great breakdown by Marton Medveczky—worth diving into!
Just analyzed the latest SaaS M&A data and the numbers are fascinating. Here's what every founder needs to know: The SaaS M&A market is waking up: deal volumes are up 20.5% in Q3, reaching 594 deals. Let's break it down: ## Valuation Multiples - Median M&A multiple: 4.1x revenue -> think about this when you calculate the value of your equity - This is much lower than the 6.9x public SaaS capital index and shows the brutal reality of private M&A - Top performers (Rule of 40 over 60) get a 200% premium - Vertical SaaS companies are seeing stronger multiples, particularly in healthcare, fintech, and HR tech - Most deals are below $100m EV ## When are you an interesting target? - ARR above $10m: at this stage both PEs and strategics are interested. At this stage you get higher multiples and more interested parties. - Rule of 40: YoY Growth + EBITDA margin should be at least 40% -> but higher growth is preferred over higher EBITDA - Net revenue retention of ~100% -> this shows that the product is sticky - 60% of acquisitions involved companies with <50 FTEs - Bootstrapped companies are particularly attractive ## Who are the buyers? - Private Equity: companies like Thoma Bravo and Vista Equity Partners are executing "buy-and-build" strategies, particularly in vertical SaaS. This involves buying a "platform" company and adding "bolt-on" acquisitions on top to achieve multiple expansion. - Strategic buyers: strategic buyers are more cautious nowadays, but you can still be acquired, especially in Vertical SaaS.
