Primary Insight

What Stands Out

  • Growth equity and majority investments show up alongside acquisitions, including Edison Partners’ $65M majority investment in KnowledgeLake and recapitalization activity by McCarthy Capital.
  • Regulated-vertical SaaS appears clearly: Karpel Computer Systems (prosecutor case management) and Comprose (policy and procedure management for enterprise customers in regulated industries).
  • Cloud infrastructure and hosting expansion is a major thread, highlighted by LightEdge acquiring Connectria to add data centers and expand multi-cloud hosting capabilities (IBM, AWS, Azure).
  • Enterprise workflow automation and adjacent product integration recur, including Capacity acquiring Textel to add AI-enabled two-way SMS and PerformLine acquiring LashBack to expand compliance monitoring.
  • Missouri footprint, especially St. Louis: multiple targets are St. Louis-based (e.g., Karpel Computer Systems, Connectria, Noonlight), with Kansas City showing up via DivvyHQ and Hyson International-related activities aimed at SMB markets in the US.
