Selling in 2027? What a buyer will find in your 2026 numbers, and how to find it first. Live session, January 20. Owner session, January 20.Reserve your seat
Twelve industries. Sixty-six sectors. Six desks open.
Healthcare is open first. The next desk opens when we hold one or two mandates in a vertical and a managing director who knows it; then we map its buyers, deal flow, strategy and exposure to AI. Choose an industry to see its sectors and which are open.

Source: Software Equity Group, 2Q26 SaaS M&A and Public Market Report. The trailing-year count and the quarterly growth rate are different measures, labeled as such; SEG publishes no year-to-date 2026 figure. The industry, sector and desk counts are Capital Row’s own coverage list, not published figures. Share figures are for Q2 2026; healthcare uses vertical SaaS deals as its denominator.
Our updates on your sectors, as they are published.
Buyer map
Who has bought in your sector. Named, dated, sourced.
Every acquirer active in one sector over the last 36 months, each tied to a dated deal with a source that opens. What they paid, where it was disclosed. What each says it wants next, in its own words. And who did not buy.
The recordPublic announcements only.
Press releases, the acquirer’s own newsroom, filings and trade press, each opened on the day it is read. Nothing is estimated, and no price or multiple appears unless the source states it.
Your readingYour company against the map.
Which of these buyers would look at a company like yours, why, and what they would find when they did. That reading is the engagement. The map is its evidence.
The scopeOne sector, one document.
Scope agreed in writing before work begins. Delivered as a document you keep, with its sources, and refreshed on request.
Most owners have blind spots about what their business is worth. Answer ten questions and see the range a buyer would start from, in about a minute.

Your figures stay in your browser through step 1. They are sent to Capital Row together with your contact details when you request the range in step 2.
What a buyer will look at
What moves the range
A buyer prices the earnings it can support with documents. Every added-back item you cannot document comes off your earnings before any multiple is applied. A Pre-Market Assessment reads your numbers the way a buyer will, before a buyer does.
Services businesses are priced on adjusted earnings. Software is usually priced on revenue.
2Published figures
For software, the median and the average of private SaaS transactions from Software Equity Group; the listed SaaS index is shown apart, for reference. For services, the published multiple for companies of your earnings size.
3Your range
Software: from the median to the average. Services: your adjusted earnings at the multiple for your size. A buyer sets the price after diligence of your records.
Illustrative market range. Actual value depends on business performance, financial quality and deal terms.
Sources and methodology
The range is an educational estimate from your own answers and published figures. It is not a valuation, an appraisal or an offer, and it is not financial, tax or legal advice. It does not account for the specific factors that can change what a buyer pays. For an accurate view, speak with a qualified advisor.
Software: Software Equity Group, 2Q26 SaaS M&A and Public Market Report. The range runs from the median, 4.0 times, to the average, 6.2 times, enterprise value to trailing twelve months revenue across disclosed private SaaS transactions in the quarter (page 8). The SEG SaaS Index median, 3.2 times (page 22), is listed companies, a different population: it is shown for reference and is not part of the range. For software + services, the software reading applies to the recurring revenue you report.
Services: your adjusted earnings times the multiple for your earnings size in Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, 2026 Private Capital Markets Report (Spring 2026), Table 31, page 66, business services, multiples of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization: under $1M, 4.8 times; $1M to $4.99M, 6.2 times; $5M to $9.99M, 6.5 times; $10M to $24.99M, 7.5 times; $25M and over, 7.0 times. 43 investment bankers, on transactions closed in the twelve months before January 2026. The table labels these figures medians and the report text calls them averages, so the calculator calls them published multiples. The same table is used for every services business, including transportation and logistics. For software + services, the services reading applies to your adjusted earnings and the software reading to your recurring revenue.
