Show Notes

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
