About the Research

Our 2nd annual online survey was in the field August 1st – 20th, 2023, and garnered responses from 135 participants representing the top private equity investors and strategic buyers in the middle-market software space, and founders/CEOs of B2B software and SaaS companies. Of the buyer/investor respondents, 75% said the number of high-quality software targets has decreased, fueling competition and driving higher multiples.
