16 October 2018 – GP Bullhound today publishes its latest market report on the Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) space, examining the public company landscape, M&A, private placement and IPO trends in Q3 2018, including go-to-market strategies, growth trajectories, unit economics, strategic consolidator and investor demand, and market valuation dynamics compared to historical valuations for SaaS companies.
Jonathan Cantwell, Director at GP Bullhound, commented: “In Q3, the software market continued to roar with large strategic deals, including Adobe’s acquisition of Marketo and Vista Equity’s acquisition of iCIMS.
Several SaaS companies on track for IPOs raised private financings instead of going public, as mega preferred rounds continue in areas such as human capital management, security and fintech.
