Public and Private SaaS Valuations November 2023

I regularly track SaaS valuations as a part of my consulting business. Tracking the valuations of public SaaS companies is easy, privately held SaaS companies are a bit more challenging, but not impossible. Year to date, the median public SaaS company valuation is up about 18.5%, while the overall Nasdaq is up 36.7%. In the past month, public SaaS company valuations have improved 9.4% versus 9.1% for the Nasdaq and 6.1% for the NYSE. Private company valuations have followed the same trends. The median EnterpriseValue/Revenue (ttm) multiple for public SaaS companies was 5.8x down from 16.4x in February 2021

PreSeed Fundraising Trends Q3 2023

I consult with a lot of early-stage SaaS startups. Many are trying to raise a PreSeed round of VC funding, and most are struggling. VC fundraising has declined by over 50% since the heydays of 2021, and while preseed and seed stage deals have been hit just as hard as Series A, B, C & D. Some recent data from CBInsights, Pitchbook, and DocSend provide great qualitative and quantitative insights into what has changed in 2023.
