Software Equity Group, an investment bank we respect and trust, puts out great data on the SaaS M&A market. Their July report was a doozy: “Deal volumes remained meaningfully elevated, just below June’s record month and 27% higher through July 2025 than it was through July 2024. At the current pace of deal volume, 2025 is well on track to be the most active year ever recorded for SaaS M&A. In this environment, investors and acquirers stayed selective but confident, backing companies with proven unit economics, disciplined growth, and differentiated technology.” Clearly, they see a very robust environment for M&A.
The report goes on: “Through July, SaaS M&A deal volume totaled 1,494 deals, up 27% from the 1,177 deals recorded through July 2024. July contributed 221 deals, just below June’s 230 but 12% ahead of July 2024’s 198 deals, affirming that activity has normalized at this elevated baseline. At the current pace, 2025 is well on track to be the most active year ever recorded for SaaS M&A. This sustained momentum highlights continued market confidence in SaaS consolidation and growth….. Private equity and venture-backed buyers drove 62% of July’s deal flow.”
Overall, the data from a deal count perspective looks great for SaaS M&A.
