In “industries are both smaller than you’d think but also richer in detail than you’d imagine” here is a list of PE firms doing software acquisitions. I could have named one of them, so, flagging for founders who may be interested in their services in the future.
“What’s the service?”

You have a SaaS company, they have money, there’s plausibly some price at which you both gain from trade.

Historically venture-funded startups and their capital stack have been deeply skeptical of PE acquisitions as an outcome. That may be changing.
(It is changing at least in part because if you raise a Series B then a $50 million sale is probably a failure case but if you got there on a $1 million seed round then all stakeholders plausibly say “Umm well that certainly achieved most of my objectives for last 5 years.”)
