SaaS Industry
Software deals move on different metrics than most businesses. As a California SaaS M&A firm, we help you position, benchmark, and close around the numbers that actually matter to a SaaS buyer.

Deal Structuring & Close
Valuation
Revenue multiples only tell part of the story. Here's what buyers dig into before they ever talk price.
Net Revenue Retention
Expansion beating churn is one of the strongest signals buyers look for.
Gross & Logo Churn
Low, stable churn tells buyers the product is sticky, not just growing.
MRR / ARR Quality
Recurring, contracted revenue is valued very differently from one-off or usage-based spikes.
Customer Concentration
Revenue spread across many accounts de-risks the business in a buyer's eyes.
Gross Margin
Infrastructure and support costs baked into COGS shape the real multiple you'll get.
Founder Dependency
A business that runs without you at the center commands a real premium.
Why Us
Software M&A rewards a team who actually understands the business model. Here's what that looks like at a boutique M&A firm in California.
SaaS-Fluent Team
We speak MRR, NRR, and CAC payback natively, so nothing gets lost translating your business to a buyer.
Data-Backed Valuation
Benchmarked against real, comparable SaaS transactions, not generic industry multiples.

Adam Smith

We typically work with SaaS companies from around $500K to $20M in ARR across Los Angeles and California, whether you're selling, raising, or acquiring.
We benchmark ARR, growth rate, NRR, churn, and margin against recent comparable SaaS transactions, supported by AI-assisted market research, not a flat industry multiple.
No. Many conversations start as an exploratory valuation call with no obligation to move forward.
Yes. We work with buyers too, sourcing and vetting SaaS opportunities that match your criteria.
