Insights
Roper's acquisition of Subsplash strengthens its software portfolio with a high-growth religious tech platform showing 7x ARR growth.
Roper Technologies is expanding its software portfolio through the acquisition of Subsplash, a high-growth AI-powered engagement platform serving over 20,000 faith-based organizations. This transaction aligns with Roper's strategic focus on acquiring asset-light, high-margin software businesses with recurring revenue models.
The acquisition target has demonstrated impressive financial performance, growing its annual recurring revenue by approximately 7x since K1's initial investment in 2019. This growth trajectory suggests Roper is acquiring a business with strong momentum and established product-market fit in the religious technology sector.
Subsplash's platform combines several high-value components including digital giving (payments), media delivery, and church management tools - creating multiple revenue streams with likely high margins and retention rates typical of integrated software platforms. The mention of "increasing payment attachment rates" indicates a successful monetization strategy that Roper can potentially scale further.
This acquisition represents Roper's continued execution of its capital deployment strategy - targeting niche software leaders with defensible market positions. For Roper shareholders, this transaction likely provides entry into a specialized market with limited competition while diversifying the company's revenue streams across another vertical market.
Transaction Marks K1's Fifth Exit to a Strategic Buyer and Third to a Publicly Listed Company in the Last Year
Subsplash, co-founded in
Following K1's initial investment in 2019, Subsplash has significantly expanded its product capabilities, go-to-market strategy, and monetization engine 鈥� organically growing annual recurring revenue (ARR) by approximately 7x from the fiscal year prior to investment. Subsplash transforms church engagement by creating an all-in-one AI platform that seamlessly integrates giving, media, and community connection. Over the course of the partnership, the company has introduced new features across live streaming, church management, and AI-powered content 鈥� strengthening their position as a category-leader while accelerating payment attachment rates and increasing platform adoption among existing users.
"This exit underscores K1's focus on backing founder-led companies and scaling them into category leaders," said George Mansour, Partner at K1. "Subsplash is a prime example of what's possible with the right mix of mission, market, and management. In an environment where liquidity has been scarce, this outcome demonstrates the strength of the Subsplash business 鈥� and ensures that its customers will continue to benefit from long-term investment, innovation, and platform continuity under a top-tier company like Roper."
"K1 was an invaluable partner on this journey. They brought deep domain knowledge and strategic clarity to the table, empowering our team to scale operationally while staying rooted in our mission," said Tim Turner, CEO of Subsplash. "We're thrilled to join Roper, whose commitment to long-term platform growth and innovation aligns perfectly with our vision. This next chapter will allow us to serve our customers even better, expanding the ways we help organizations connect with their communities and share life-changing content."
The sale of Subsplash marks K1's fifth exit to a strategic buyer and third to a publicly traded acquirer in the past year, a strong pace given broader market conditions. Notable recent realizations include (sold to FactSet), (sold to Nemetschek Group), and (sold to ConnectWise, a Thoma Bravo portfolio company), which contributed to a record year of distributions for K1 in 2024. This transaction also marks K1's third realization in 2025. No investment bankers were involved in the exit to Roper and the deal was originally sourced directly by K1's in-house business development team 鈥� underscoring both K1's differentiated sourcing model and its connectivity to strategic buyers in enterprise software.
