Episode description
I have a special edition of the show today. I recently attended a great software event co-hosted by GLC Advisors and a private equity firm. They provided the latest insights into what’s happening on the front lines of software M&A.
I want to share these insights with my SaaS community, so I invited Jim Williams with GLC Advisors onto the show for a Spring M&A Update.
We cover the following and more.
- Deal volume in 2021 and 2022
- Valuation trends in 2021, 2022, and today
- Bid/Ask spread differences
- Credit market impact on levered buyout deals
- Is it a buyer's or seller's market
- Valuations are under pressure
- What does it take for 10x ARR valuation?
- Why SaaS metrics are being scrutinized
- Platform vs add-on buys
- What to expect in 2023 and beyond
