In Q1 2025, enterprise SaaS M&A deal count hit 210, according to PitchBook
"The recent Q1 2025 data shows 210 enterprise SaaS mergers and acquisitions, a rebound from previous quarters, yet total deal value has fallen markedly."
"Despite a decrease in overall deal value, significant acquisitions such as Clearlake's $5.3 billion buyout of ModMed highlight the market's potential and ongoing activity."
Q1 2025 witnessed 210 enterprise SaaS mergers and acquisitions, which is comparable to the previous quarter's 211 deals and a significant increase from 165 in Q1 2024. The combined value of VC-backed M&A in this sector reached $14.6 billion, with private equity-led transactions achieving a record 73 deals. However, total deal value dropped by 24.8% from $38.7 billion in Q4 2024 to $29.1 billion in Q1 2025, with five major transactions dominating the landscape, raising concerns about market stability amidst the surge of AI investments.
