Firms in the Software Search Funds directory are ordered based on recent deal activity on Axial. The default order reflects observed market signals rather than a subjective ranking of firm quality.

Each profile provides information about the firm’s areas of focus, transaction criteria, and relevant activity on Axial’s M&A platform. Together, these details provide a clearer view of where a firm is active and the types of companies and opportunities most relevant for it.

Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Software Search Funds is $3M-$12M, with a core EBITDA range of $500K-$2M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.

Relevant Software experience can be an important consideration when evaluating a firm. Familiarity with the sector can provide a stronger understanding of its business models, market dynamics, valuation considerations, and transaction environment. The 1,484 firms included in this directory provide a starting point for identifying firms with relevant experience and activity in Software.

Not necessarily.

Individual profiles provide additional context on each firm’s areas of focus and activity within the sector.

When comparing Search Funds with experience in Software, consider factors such as size range, geographic reach, and recent transaction activity. These characteristics vary across the 1,484 firms included in the directory and can help identify firms that align with your needs.

Axial can help you identify and connect with firms based on your objectives and what you are looking to accomplish. The process varies depending on your role and transaction needs.
