Goldman Sachs nears $30-50 million MoEngage deal in signs of SaaS deals comeback

Goldman Sachs is reportedly planning to invest $35-50 million in MoEngage through a secondary transaction, doubling down on the enterprise SaaS company. This investment comes amidst increased deal activity in late-stage SaaS startups. The funding round may include a discount on MoEngage's last valuation. The Bengaluru-based company was last valued at $700 million. The deal reflects the ongoing adjustment in SaaS valuations, which have seen a decline from the record highs of 2021. Other SaaS companies, such as Innovaccer, Whatfix, Icertis, and Atlan, have also recently raised funds or are finalizing funding rounds.
