The MSP Consolidation Wave Is Accelerating

466 MSP deals closed last year. $4.3 billion changed hands. 75+ PE platforms are actively acquiring.

Industry analysts project the top 200 MSSPs will compress to ~120 platforms by 2028. The longer founders wait, the wider the operational gap against PE-backed competitors deploying AI and security capabilities at scale.

The difference between a 4x and a 12x multiple comes down to security capabilities, recurring revenue mix, customer concentration, and timing. Most founders don't know where they fall until it's too late.
