After several weeks of compiling data on all SF transactions closed in###-###-#### note: some deals may be missing or undisclosed due to confidentiality), we are excited to share this initial overview. Key Highlights: - 100+ SF acquisitions recorded worldwide – a new all-time record! - Europe is now “on par” with North America. - a wave of international exits in Europe and Latin America. 2025 has been a landmark year for SF globally, with strong growth, record deals, and outstanding exits. We expect 2026 to be even more dynamic, particularly in Asia and Latin America. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7427259795793018880
