Office of CFO Software Market Update (September 2025)

Blackpeak are pleased to present a market update on the ANZ CFO-Suite software market which includes key trends on M&A and financings as well as a market map on industry participants.

With increasing technology disruption, the role of the CFO has evolved from a largely compliance-driven role to one that is integral to driving the strategic direction of a business.

Australia & New Zealand have produced an impressive list of success stories with the CFO-suite, with household names like Xero & Technology One becoming global leaders with deep ecosystems. More recently, there has been a new wave of leaders emerging with companies like Phocas, Indebted, Automic and Traild attracting significant investment and driving the next wave of transaction activity in the sector.

Blackpeak have significant experience in the office of the CFO software segment so please reach out to Scott Colvin (scott@blackpeakcapital.com.au) if you would like to discuss the report.

Blackpeak advises on RaptorTech growth equity raising

🚀 Deal Announcement

Blackpeak Capital is proud to have advised RaptorTech, a Perth-based mining technology platform provider, on its growth equity capital raising.

The round attracted strong investor interest, led by Fifth Estate Asset Management and supported by a leading global mining OEM, valuing RaptorTech at ~$40 million — as featured in the Australian Financial Review: Bootstrapped to $40m: mining tech RaptorTech lands external investment.

RaptorTech has developed a mining technology platform including fleet management and collision avoidance systems, delivered under an “as a service” model. This makes advanced mining technology accessible to small and mid-sized miners who traditionally cannot fund the large upfront costs of competing products.

Already deployed in operating mines in Australia and soon to expand internationally, the platform is driving productivity gains while improving mine safety through its leading collision avoidance system.

Founded and bootstrapped by Jean Ferreira and Aaron Locke, both former WesTrac mining technology specialists, RaptorTech is now poised to scale globally with the backing of its new investors.

We’re delighted to have supported Jean, Aaron, and the team on this important milestone.

Blackpeak Capital SaaS/ software market update – March 2025

Blackpeak Capital SaaS/ software market update – March 2025

Blackpeak are pleased to present our latest SaaS/ Software sector update report with market data through to 28 February 2025.

Despite the market volatility in recent weeks, the report highlights an improving trend in SaaS and Software sector transaction activity across both M&A and capital raisings. We believe 2025 is poised for a further improvement in SaaS and Software M&A and capital raising activity underpinned by:

  • Improving SaaS and Software valuation multiples in 2024, despite a recent correction driven by global uncertainty, will provide a better backdrop for agreeing terms between buyers and sellers, facilitating M&A and capital raising activity
  • Inflation and interest rates peaking in 2024 and expected to decline further in 2025, supporting better acquisition financing terms and valuations for SaaS growth companies
  • Strong performance of the SaaS and Software sectors in the last 12 months with performance significantly exceeding the wider market, despite slowing average revenue growth rates since 2022
  • Investors continue to place a premium on revenue growth and profitability, with a strong correlation between trading multiples and the Rule of 40
  • Both strategic acquirers and private equity firms are expected to be very active, with strong interest in vertical SaaS companies with strong unit economics and growth
  • Private equity and venture capital funds are facing growing pressure to deploy dry power and distribute capital, driving activity on both the buy and sell sides

Blackpeak Capital technology market update – March 2025

Blackpeak are pleased to present our latest ANZ technology market update report (see link below) with market data through to 28 February 2025.

Despite the market volatility in recent weeks, the report highlights an improving trend in technology sector transaction activity across both M&A and capital raisings. We believe 2025 is poised for a further improvement in technology M&A activity underpinned by:

  • Improving activity levels in 2H 2024 and early 2025 across both private equity and strategic buyers
  • Inflation and interest rates peaking in 2024 and expected to decline further in 2025 supporting better acquisition financing terms and valuations for long duration growth assets
  • Improving valuation multiples in 2024 providing a better backdrop for agreeing terms between buyers and sellers (ie. bid-ask spread on valuation is narrowing)
  • Private equity sitting on record levels of dry powder and need to deploy after several quiet years on below average activity
