Methodology
Counts come from the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index: announced acquisitions of technology and SaaS companies in 2026, each verified against a public source and each linked. Deals with no public announcement are not counted, so a buyer’s real total may be higher than its tracked total.
Values appear only where the source disclosed them. Nothing is estimated.
