Stax recently hosted colleagues from 30+ private equity firms and investment banks in New York and Boston to discuss current and evolving deal markets for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) software. The discussion was facilitated by Stax software group leads Athul Ravunniarath and Arnav Kacker. 

GRC software markets have experienced significant investment growth in recent years – private equity firms have sought to capitalize on strong market tailwinds and a broad availability of assets to go after, in support of roll-up strategies. 

In addition to discussing these trends, Stax’s GRC breakfast took a deeper look at the Integrated Risk Management (IRM) software category, an area of increasing focus. 

The discussions covered the following topics: 

  • GRC software deal market and trends 
  • Investment landscape and opportunities for Risk Management software 
  • Optionality for investment strategies; ability for both Integrated Risk Management (IRM) and risk-focused point tools to serve as a viable ‘point of market entry’ 
  • Considerations for investment thesis build 

Stax has deep expertise across the GRC software and services ecosystem. Reach out to our dedicated experts with any questions!
