We guide SaaS founders, CEOs and investors on how to navigate market challenges while highlighting the performance indicators of companies most likely to emerge stronger.

We surveyed over 100 SaaS companies across Europe in partnership with HSBC Innovation Banking, from startups to late-stage scaleups.

Alexis Scorer, Partner at GP Bullhound<\/strong>, commented: “The focus on capital efficient growth highlighted in last year\u2019s report has been evidenced by this year\u2019s survey, indicating broad improvements in operational efficiency across the European SaaS sector. Despite the continued decline in SaaS fundraising volumes, M&A activity has proved resilient and remains well above pre-pandemic levels for European SaaS.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
