As we approach the midpoint of 2024, gov tech market activity does not appear to be slowing. Indeed, on the very date of this ICYMI episode, private equity firm Bain Capital announced that it was buying PowerSchool for $5.6 billion.
Will we continue to see a variety of transactions rather than a small number and type of them driving volume? Will more data points lead to more deals and more consistency in valuations? Are there any predictable economic or political factors which may affect the market during the remainder of the year?
Dustin Haisler spoke with gov tech market experts Jeff Cook, managing director at Shea and Company, and Rachel Stern, founder and CEO of Govtech Ventures, to discuss the significant market trends they’ve seen to date. They shared their opinions on transactions, funding, areas that investors should be watching and their advice for both startups trying to enter the market and investors who may not have previously considered gov tech.
