DealPotential
In an unpredictable market environment, Q2 2025 has delivered a twist no one saw coming. While the total number of mergers and acquisitions dipped compared to previous quarters, the total deal value has soared, driven by fewer but much larger, high-impact transactions.
It’s a shift that private market investors can’t afford to ignore.
Global M&A activity in Q2 2025 declined in volume but not in ambition. The number of closed deals fell by nearly 17% year-over-year, yet the total disclosed value of those deals spiked by over 30%.
Why? Mega-deals are back.
Despite persistent concerns about inflation, geopolitical tensions, and regulatory uncertainty, strategic acquirers and private equity firms have zeroed in on transformative targets particularly in sectors like AI infrastructure, defense tech, and climate innovation.
Instead of spreading capital thin across many mid-sized deals, investors are consolidating bets and doubling down on conviction plays.
For M&A professionals, VCs, and PE firms, the implications are both strategic and operational:
In this climate, access to real-time, actionable company intelligence isn’t just a competitive edge, it’s a necessity.
At DealPotential, we’ve built our platform to meet the demands of today’s private market reality. As dealmakers become more selective and timing becomes mission-critical, our users leverage tools that surface opportunities others can’t see.
🟣 Signals, one of our core features. Instead of waiting for a company to announce a round, our users are already ahead, engaging before the competition even knows what’s happening.
🟣 Filters and personalization make it simple to drill down into specific verticals, geographies, ownership structures, or fundraising stages. Whether you’re focused on cross-border acquisitions or bootstrapped AI startups in the Nordics, DealPotential’s dashboard adapts to you.
Because in a market where timing is everything, precision wins.
If Q2 2025 teaches us anything, it’s that value is shifting from quantity to quality. Winning firms are rethinking their sourcing strategy less about chasing volume, more about owning intelligence.
