About

Meera Krishnan is the anchor salesperson at Napkin Deals, covering North American technology and SaaS deals — the highest-multiple category and the platform's largest source of deal volume. With 12 years of experience in technology M&A and SaaS business development, she is one of the most productive deal originators in the organization.

Meera previously served as Director of Business Development at Vista Equity Partners, where she sourced and evaluated technology investment opportunities across the enterprise software landscape. She personally originated 15 deals that entered the firm's pipeline, four of which closed for a combined enterprise value of $2.8 billion. Her deep understanding of SaaS metrics, recurring revenue models, and technology valuations made her a trusted partner for founders exploring exits.

Before Vista, Meera spent five years at Salesforce in San Francisco as an Enterprise Account Executive, where she consistently ranked in the top 5% of the global sales organization. She managed a territory of mid-market technology companies and closed $28 million in annual contract value, earning President's Club recognition three years running.

At Napkin Deals, Meera has established herself as the top-performing salesperson, generating more deal volume than any other team member. She has built deep relationships with SaaS founders, technology investors, and strategic acquirers across North America. Her ability to understand both buyer and seller motivations allows her to match parties effectively, resulting in faster closes and higher client satisfaction. She is the model for how Napkin's sales team operates.
