ABOUT OUR FIRM

Software Equity Group is an investment bank and M&A advisory serving the software and technology sectors. Founded in 1992, our firm has represented and guided private companies throughout the United States and Canada, as well as Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and Israel. We have advised public companies listed on the NASDAQ, NYSE, American, Toronto, London and Euronext exchanges. Software Equity Group also represents several of the world's leading private equity firms. We were recently ranked among the top ten investment banks worldwide for application software mergers and acquisitions.

Our value proposition is unique and compelling. We are skilled and accomplished investment bankers with extraordinary software, internet and technology domainexpertise. Our industry knowledge and experience span virtually every software product category, technology, market and delivery model, including Software-as-a Service (Saas), software on-demand and perpetual license. We have profound understanding of software company finances, operations and valuation. We monitor and analyze every publicly disclosed software M&A transaction, as well as the market, economy and technology trends that impact these deals. We're formidable negotiators and savvy dealmakers who facilitate strategic combinations that enhance shareholder value.

THE SEG SOFTWARE COMPANY MENTORING PROGRAM

As part of our informal mentoring program, we are currently guiding and advising some fifty software companies around the globe that are not yet exit candidates, but aspire to be in the next few years. We meet with them periodically, invite them to call whenever they’d like our opinion on an operational issue that might have exit implications later on, and we keep them apprised of M&A activity and financings in their product category. And the best news – we don’t charge for this mentoring advice. It’s complimentary. It’s our way of building value, and relationships.

We’re looking for a few more such relationships. We begin with an introductory phone call with companies interested in being mentored, followed by a more in-depth telephone conversation. We’ll then invite qualified candidates to meet personally with four or five members of our team at our San Diego office. During this three to four hour sit-down, we’ll discuss the current market, specifically as it relates to valuations, transactions and trends in your product category. We’ll assess the strengths and weakness of your financial performance, how that compares to other software companies your size, and how that relates to buyer expectations. We’ll discuss your market strategy, sales strategy, sales team track record, software and maintenance pricing strategies, equity structure, and a wide array of other factors that can materially impact your salability and valuation down the road. We’re a terrific sounding board. We’ll give you an informed, honest and frank opinion – that’s what we’re known for. And we’ll offer informed and insightful observations, ideas and options based on 17 years of working with countless software companies worldwide.

If you run a profitable software company with revenue in excess of $10 million, and you’re interested in learning more about SEG’s complimentary, no obligation mentoring program, please contact Kris Beible at [email protected] or 858-509-2800.
