Making Software Deals Fast and Frictionless
At Razorhorse, we work with private equity firms, strategic acquirers, and investment banks to source and execute the right software deals. Since 2012, we’ve built a team of software M&A professionals, financial analysts, and research experts who know this space inside and out.
We take a hands-on, data-driven approach to sourcing and executing deals, cutting through the noise to connect buyers with real opportunities that align with their goals. Each year, we help investors deploy billions of dollars into high-quality software acquisitions.
Unlike traditional firms, we don’t just throw lists of companies at you and hope something sticks. We focus on thoughtful, targeted outreach and relationship-building—because in M&A, the right introduction at the right time can make all the difference.
We work fast, but we don’t cut corners. We value precision, discretion, and a process that feels seamless for everyone involved. Whether you’re looking to acquire your next software company or want a better way to source deals, we’re here to make it happen.
Why are you reaching out to me?
We reach out to CEOs and business owners when one of our clients expresses interest in making an acquisition or investment in your company. We also reach out if we believe your company is a good fit for the profile one of our partners are targeting.
How do you get paid?
We work on retainer for strategic acquirers and private equity firms. We are paid by the buyer, our client. We do not do any sell side advisory work.
What happens to my data?
We only share your information with our client, and we only share enough information to qualify interest. Once we do, we make an introduction. We don’t sell or publish your data.
We work closely with the C-suite and board of our clients on their M&A and investment activity as buy-side advisors. We work well with sell-side advisors. Our clients appreciate having professional deal expertise on both sides of a transaction.
We work seamlessly with sell-side advisors and augment our clients’ deal execution capabilities. For more information, please reach out to our team.
How do you get paid?
We are paid by our client, the buyer.
As trusted advisors to the world’s leading software and tech-oriented private equity firms, we operate as an extension of your investment team. Our capabilities enable decision makers to focus less time on sourcing and qualification and more on due diligence, strategy, and portfolio management. Powering origination and sourcing efforts around the world, we offer a set of tailored and specific buy-side services alongside a network of proprietary deal flow. For more information, please reach out to one of our deal experts.
How do I join the network?
Contact us to discuss.
What do you mean by network effects?
When we look for a deal for one partner, we often find deals that fit better for other partners. Our partners have benefited from network effects regularly, while conflicts are exceedingly rare. We take great care to ensure our partner’s mandates avoid most overlap.
How do you get paid?
Our partners pay us for origination services. Sellers never pay us. Intermediaries do not pay us, and we do not sell subscriptions to data.
