Hey Searchfunder community,
I'm Chris, a searcher focused on US-based software and IT services businesses. I have 6 years' experience in vertical software and graduated in May from Columbia GSB.

I'd love to connect briefly###-###-#### minutes) with other searchers prioritizing similar industries. Feel free to DM me or comment below. I'd like to hear about building deal pipelines, managing the pressure of high valuations and multiples, and trends you're seeing.

Feel free to share any thoughts in the comments below as well.

Thanks for the tag ^redacted‌. ^redacted‌ I'm not prioritizing SaaS but I did come from the SaaS world before getting into search & SMB. And I have looked at a few SaaS deals lately. Happy to help if I can, feel free to DM if you want to connect.

Thanks ^redacted‌. Chris, I'm not focused on SaaS or MSPs right now because of the valuation reason you pointed out. Was a non-starter for my cap structure which includes SBA senior debt. However, I've run 3 different SaaS companies, so can chat about operations if that's of interest. Let me know if you'd still like to connect.
