In this episode, Laura Grattan, Managing Director at Crosspoint Capital, and Jeff Vogel, Head of the Software Strategy Group at EY-Parthenon, join Winna Brown to explore how PE firms can position themselves to win tech deals in today's highly competitive market. Contact Laura: lgrattan@crosspointcapital.com Contact Jeff: jeffrey.vogel@parthenon.ey.com According to the latest EY PE Pulse report, 2021 was the year of the tech deal: 30% of total capital deployed last year was allocated to technology companies. The technology sector, once just another industry vertical, now permeates every sector, claiming an ever-increasing share of deals as more companies differentiate themselves based on their technology regardless of the industry in which they sit or serve. Crosspoint Capital focuses on the cybersecurity, privacy and infrastructure software sectors. PE firms that choose a niche specialization in the tech sector can bring deep sector expertise that translates to value creation for their portfolio companies. In an increasingly competitive tech environment, PE firms that focus on a highly targeted category of assets can find themselves in a differentiated position. They are able to quickly discern where to spend time, recognize the opportunities and limitations of an asset, and identify patterns indicative of future success. Three characteristics of today's tech deal environment include: Increasing presence of and need for club deals Increasing speed at which deals are clearing Developing deal theses early

Jeff Vogel, EY-Parthenon US Managing Director and Head of the Software Strategy Group, joins Winna Brown to explore the complexities and key trends shaping the software deal landscape. Visit ey.com to read our latest private equity perspectives. The “software economy” is comprised of companies that sell or license software as well as software-enabled business services companies that differentiate themselves on the basis of their software. Because a software asset is especially complex to valuate and diligence, PE firms and the advisors who serve them have transformed their talent strategy to attract a wide spectrum of operational experts ranging from serial CTOs to young entrepreneurs. A passion for technology combined with partnering experienced executives with curious young talent helps teams remain agile and responsive to rapid change. A software asset is different from a traditional asset for three important reasons: Markets are amorphous and difficult to size. Revenue potential and gross margins are high; however, R&D expenditure is also high because the product is must constantly evolve to stay competitive. Technical debt, unlike traditional debt, is difficult to quantify and does not appear on a balance sheet, so a PE investor may unwittingly sign up for obligations requiring significant capex. Five trends shaping the PE/software deal landscape: Role of PE: PE is shaping the software landscape by providing access to capital and focusing on building companies. Long-term value: PE is increasingly prepared to hold software assets for longer and are therefore optimizing for LTV. Growth: high valuations require PE to underwrite for growth, not solely for cash flow. Hybrid deals: PE firms that were traditionally majority stakeholders are now considering minority stakes. PIPE deals: private investment in public equity (PIPE) deals are leading to cross-fertilization in management and strategy between public and privately held companies.

There is something tragic about the Flappy Bird saga. The events and realities of it aren’t necessarily anything new but they showcase some of the darker sides of our industry. The Hate Things like Twitter and the short attention span culture that grows up around it have developed a mentality where it seems perfectly acceptable to tear apart other people or their work. Over the weekend I was disheartened to see so many people I know and admire passing judgement on someone they didn’t know based on 140 character messages. Guessing the motives of anyone other than your closest friends is a fools errand, and even for them it is usually a terrible idea (just ask my friends). People are complicated, fragile and valuable. Projecting into someone else’s situation and then passing degrees on how they respond isn’t nearly as productive as projecting yourself into their situation and trying to learn for yourself. Words have meaning and I see no clearer example of how powerful they can be than what happened to Dong Nguyen. I genuinely hope he is able to move on from this in a positive way. Jeff Vogel’s take on this is worth a read. He comes from a background where he has had to deal with this type of interaction. While he has a variety of good points I found his observations about the role PR companies play in business very germane to this audience. The blessing and curse of being an independent is that you often interact directly with your customers. It is impossible for this to not impact you personally and emotionally. Human nature is to dwell on the negative far more than the positive. If you aren’t careful about drawing boundaries you’ll go crazy. A lesson There are a number of more squishy lessons to learn from Flappy Bird, but there is one that is manifestly practical. Never, ever, ever share revenue numbers publicly. As soon as you throw a number out there it will be all anyone can talk about. This is a natural reaction since it is one of the only things about your unique situation that is directly comparable to theirs. That voyeuristic tendency is highly venomous. Every single article I’ve read since has thrown that number around as a core part of their justifications. Just don’t do it. While I know it can be frustrating to see y-axis without numbers or to want to learn from the experiences of others it is never a great idea, and this coming from someone who tries very hard to share my numbers, stats and results. Localization Results I published a breakdown of the impact of localizing Pedometer++. Overall it was a great success. A request I’ve never really asked for iTunes reviews, it isn’t something I think is particularly important nor something I like doing. However, the quantitative side of me really wonders if it is as important as various podcast hosts say. So I’d like to conduct a little experiment. If you have time over the next week I’d love for you to write or rate the show in iTunes. You can find it here. I’m skeptical but very curious about what an influx of reviews would do. Thank you.
