Are you a SaaS founder with an eye on a successful exit? A new article from Jack Thorpe, Principal at JMAN Group, published on IT Business Net, reveals the role data plays in strengthening your company’s valuation. Private equity and tech investors need an evidence based narrative that goes beyond headline growth figures to demonstrate sustainable scalability. As Jack writes: “It’s the quality and clarity of data that increasingly separates the success stories from those who stall.”

Jack emphasizes the need for SaaS firms to cultivate a deep understanding and interpretation of their own numbers: too often, valuable business data remains siloed, hindering leadership teams when faced with critical investor questions.

  • The specific data points that PE and tech investors prioritize to assess sustainable growth
  • How to use data to confidently answer tough questions and demonstrate your business’s long-term potential
  • The value of a compelling, evidence-backed story that maximizes your SaaS firm’s exit value
