Software still a significant opportunity for private equity

PitchBook reports median deal size $60 million in 2021

With its attractive revenue model, growth potential, efficient use of capital, and penchant for innovation, software is a natural target for PE interest. Recent history has shown just how much opportunity there is for private equity firms. And while there could be some mild declines in the coming year, they should be viewed in relation to the industry’s underlying vitality.
