DOES ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE ACQUIRING SOFTWARE/TECH COMPANIES?

Particularly curious to hear from folks about their experiences sourcing and evaluating (particularly small SaaS) companies. Would love to connect!

Hi Aditya - I'm 5 years into one small SaaS deal that's gone very well. Happy to share what I know if you want to shoot me an email [redacted]

I would love to tag along with your conversation if you don't mind. I am evaluating a very small Saas company right now.

I've been in the web arena for over two decades and am currently incorporating a business broker role that will concentrate on tech (SaaS, ecommerce, IT, etc.). Hence, I'm keen to connect for strategic chats in this area. More information: https://www.allfantastic.com/business-brokering [redacted]

FYI. I provide equity for B2B SaaS buyouts (two so far and looking for more deals). Will post more deal updates here: https://www.searchfunder.com/group/view/3137 . btw - do you work with Peter Morelli (Stanford classmate who is VP Engineering at Lyft)?
