July 2025 – Software & Technology Transactions Remain Strong Across AI, Infrastructure, and Cybersecurity

Tags:

Dealmaking in the software and technology sector remained robust in July, reflecting continued investor focus on the critical building blocks of the AI economy. Activity centered on AI infrastructure, next-generation connectivity, and cybersecurity, with large-cap M&A and platform buyouts driving the majority of transaction value.

AI platforms continued to attract strategic investment, supported by substantial late-stage funding for foundational model developers and acquisitions aimed at expanding full-stack capabilities. Connectivity and infrastructure deals reflected the race to strengthen the networks and edge computing systems needed to power AI workloads, while cybersecurity consolidation underscored the priority of identity-first protection in an evolving threat landscape.

The July 2025 Dakota Insights: Software & Technology Transactions Report offers a detailed analysis of key sectors, market trends, and the most notable transactions shaping the industry’s trajectory.
