Curious what other SaaS founders are seeing...
PitchBook says Q3 hit $65B in M&A. But PE firms took 66% of deals and 17 megadeals .
Anyone outside the "category leader" tier actually getting acquisition interest? Or is this boom only for the top 1%?

Pitchbook tells us AI is not a "bubble", but an INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION!! yeh ok mate

Passing mentions of power as greatest constraint, not much on "this shit has no visible end user market"

this is for VCs, who only care about having a greater fool

Every AI startup is unprofitable, and a scenario that will burst the bubble would be a notable AI startup struggling to raise money, leading to others rushing to raise, leading to others rushing to sell their companies, leading to industry panic and the end of AI VC.
wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...
A Startup Rattles The Venture Part of the Chain of Pain We are currently in the "fucking stupid" part of the AI bubble, as evidenced by the New York Times' piece about how "A.I. Deal Making Is Getting Faster and Faster": Across Silicon Valley, investors have been doing anything they can to get into the hottest A.I. start-ups. One venture capital firm flew the 22-year-old founders of Mercor, an A.I. company valued at $10 billion, on a private jet to Las Vegas to race Ferraris. Another gave college students money to start companies rather than do internships. Others are acting as if they work for young start-up founders, making customer introductions and recruiting employees. All of them are moving at a breakneck pace. ... Investors argue that the A.I. opportunity is so enormous and that potential winners will be so successful that deal prices, especially when the companies are just starting out, do not matter. What matters is getting into the best start-ups, they said. If A.I. has boosted the valuations of Nvidia, Microsoft and Alphabet into the trillions, perhaps several more trillion-dollar companies are getting started today. This is, of course, extremely stupid logic. And things get even more stupider: Vibecode, a start-up that uses A.I. to let people build apps, set out to raise $3 million last spring. It had not released its app, but investors were so eager that the company garnered $15 million in offers in a week. Vibecode wound up amassing $9 million at double the valuation it initially sought. In August, two months after releasing its app, it rocketed to $1 million in annualized monthly revenue. You may wonder what Vibecode does, and the answer is "create native apps in seconds with AI." Its $50-a-month and $200-a-month plans offer $55 and $220 worth of credits a month, and it adds at the bottom in small writing that its "pricing tiers are experimental and may evolve" and that it is "...still trying to figure out the exact way to price this product, and… Yet this quote really explains the moment: Gaurav Jain at Afore Capital has adjusted his investment criteria. He previously sought out great founders with great ideas. Now, he said, he is willing to back great founders with not-so-great ideas — or no ideas at all. The strategy is risky, but Mr. Jain’s firm helps entrepreneurs develop their ideas.“We cannot wait for the companies to have an idea and take off, because then it’s too late,” he said. This is what it looks like when you're in a bubble: irrational, ridiculous, clownish investment plans that appear to involve somebody having a pulse and saying "AI." As a result, startup funding continues to grow at a worrying pace, with AI taking up increasingly-large swaths of funds and attention. Venture capitalist Jon Sakota estimated back in August that US venture capital would run out of money by the end of 2026 if it continues at its current pace, which it is going to have to to support this industry. According to Pitchbook in September, the picture is grimmer, projecting around $100 billion of venture capital dry powder available at the end of the year. At this point, the scenario begins: In early 2026, a VC-backed startup needs another $200 million to keep shoving it into a furnace with "GPU" written on it, and investors balk at the valuation, the cost, or both. This story spreads like wildfire. The vibes-based community of venture investing starts to get nervous, and the startup in question starts meeting with hyperscalers, OpenAI, and Anthropic in the hopes that it can be swept off the market. The problem isn't so much this company, but the effect that it has on the rest of the industry. AI firms, nervous about their future ability to do business, start trying to raise further rounds as a means of staying alive. Rumblings around data center deals falling apart begin to rankle venture capitalists further, and a few of them start making calls suggesting it's time for portfolio companies to exit. The moment this begins, panic sets in, as because AI companies lack any path to profitability, they effectively have three choices: get acquired, go public or die. Selling is the only option, and calls start being made. The problem becomes obvious: AI startups are, for the most part, doing fancy "prompt engineering," connecting to models from either Anthropic or OpenAI to provide their services. A few quick, hasty acquisitions happen — such as the $400 million all-stock acquisition of Neptune by OpenAI — but it creates a veil of uncertainty and anxiety. Eventually, a major funding round falls apart, creating a full-blown panic attack in venture, and VCs begin refusing AI deals, afraid of over-exposure. The big "oh shit" moment comes as a major player decides to make the ultimate mistake: instead of dying with dignity or selling to somebody else, they choose instead to go public.

US private equity exit deals set for second year of recovery, PitchBook finds
Private equity firms in the United States are on track to cash out more of their investments this year than in 2024 in a welcome recovery for dealmaking, but transactions will need further bolstering to help clear the increasing build-up of older assets on their books, data provider PitchBook said in a report on Thursday.
