In Q1 2025, enterprise SaaS M&A deal count hit 210, according to PitchBook
Briefly

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.
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.
