Founder quotes
The journey through the M&A process with saas.group was an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, it was clear that saas.group had perfected this process. The communication was always respectful, timely, and genuinely collaborative, making us feel valued and understood. Selling to saas.group is a decision I will never regret. They have not only met but exceeded our expectations, and I am grateful for this partnership.
After AddSearch was acquired, several people from saas.group helped us integrate and streamline our business. The group is full of amazingly talented professionals, and suddenly, we had access to them all! Also culturally, it was a great fit from the start. The remote work setup and communication styles matched seamlessly.
Right from the very first discussions, we felt there was a match. The transaction structure was exactly what we were hoping for. Due diligence went surprisingly fast (60 days). Eight months after the transaction, thanks to the group’s support, DashThis is a much more robust and efficient business. Since the exit, SaaS founders have regularly asked me if I’d sell again to saas.group. My answer: 100% yes!
