🚨Dealmaking in enterprise software remains relatively robust and is turning more active in all segments; in part, fueled by AI-driven opportunities. Case in point, the $1.7 billion take-private of Zuora by GIC and Silver Lake, as well as the recently announced $233 million public company acquisition of Brightcove by Bending Spoons (its first foray into enterprise #SaaS). In both transactions, Goodwin teams in our #global #MandA practice served as lead counsel to the targets. 🎥 More on the Brightcove transaction here: https://lnkd.in/gF39t-wk #strategic #MergersandAcquisitions #advisors #transformative #transactions #nimble #experienced #counsel #multifaceted #dealmaking #goodwinlaw

Vertical SaaS has been and will continue to be a high priority area for investors. Our latest blog kicks off a series of interviews with private equity leaders, diving deep into their strategies for success in vSaaS and payments. Thanks to Sohum Daftary and Doug Nelson of Long Ridge Equity Partners, a firm that has partnered with high-growth tech companies since 2007, for their insights. ➡ Common SaaS Misconceptions: It’s not as simple as embedding Stripe and moving on. Effective payments strategies require specialized teams and thoughtful design. ➡ Sales Complexity: Payments revenue is transaction-driven, adding layers of integration and compliance that differ significantly from traditional SaaS. ➡ Embedded Payments vs. Lending: Both models present unique challenges, but embedded payments stand out for economic scalability and customer retention. Check out the full blog for more on how Long Ridge is navigating this evolving landscape and supporting portfolio companies in optimizing their payments models. #VSaaS #EmbeddedPayments #Investing #LongRidge https://lnkd.in/gcPyinTw

Want to know what metrics venture capitalists really care about? Aumni's latest analysis dives into 10,000+ data points from portfolio companies at all stages. Here's what we uncovered: 1️⃣ Revenue, net burn rate, FT headcount, and gross margin are the hottest metrics. 2️⃣ Most VCs request 6-9 specific metrics per quarter from each portfolio company. 3️⃣ Cash is king in the early stages but loses its throne as companies grow. 4️⃣ Operational metrics dominate at Series D+, taking up half of the top ten. Key insights: - Cash-on-hand and cash runway plummet in importance from a combined ranking of 3.5 in the seed stage to barely making the top ten by Series D+. - Metrics spotlighting operational efficiency, like gross margin, total OpEx, EBIT, bookings, and debt balance, become crucial as startups scale. ----- Follow All Chance to learn from more innovative insights.
