Former Techlithic Solution LLP CEO Snehil Prakash will work closely with StartupLanes as a Venture Partner to drive the joint initiative focused on SaaS discovery, founder growth, investor access, fundraising, and private SaaS acquisitions.
Bengaluru, India / Global — 19th May 2026 — HowToBuySaaS.com, a SaaS marketplace and private SaaS deal platform owned by Techlithic Solution LLP, today announced a strategic partnership with StartupLanes to build a stronger ecosystem for SaaS founders, buyers, investors, and acquisition-focused stakeholders.
As part of this collaboration, Snehil Prakash, former CEO of Techlithic Solution LLP, the company that owns HowToBuySaaS.com, will work closely with StartupLanes as Venture Partner to help accomplish the joint venture’s larger vision.
The partnership is designed to position HowToBuySaaS as more than a SaaS directory. With its new pivoted model, HowToBuySaaS is evolving into an end-to-end SaaS ecosystem where businesses can discover software, SaaS founders can promote and grow their products, and serious investors or buyers can explore private SaaS fundraising and acquisition opportunities.
A New Pivoted Model for the SaaS Ecosystem
HowToBuySaaS started as a SaaS discovery and software comparison platform. Over time, the platform has expanded its vision to support the full SaaS lifecycle.
The new model brings together four major pillars:
- SaaS Discovery — helping businesses discover, compare, and evaluate software products across different categories.
- SaaS Growth — helping SaaS companies gain visibility through listings, content, reviews, guides, and marketplace positioning.
- SaaS Fundraising — enabling founders to privately showcase traction, performance, and business metrics to potential investors.
- SaaS Acquisition and Exit — creating a confidential environment where founders can explore strategic exits and buyers can discover promising SaaS opportunities.
With this pivot, HowToBuySaaS is building a model that combines the public discovery power of a SaaS marketplace with the private transaction layer of a SaaS funding and acquisition platform.
Public Marketplace + Private Deal Access
The public side of HowToBuySaaS continues to help users discover SaaS tools, read buying guides, compare software options, and explore product categories.
The private side of the platform is being developed for founders, investors, and strategic buyers. SaaS founders can list private opportunities for fundraising or acquisition, while investors and buyers can browse curated listings where sensitive company details remain protected until access is approved.
The platform is designed to support a structured access flow where investors can review masked SaaS opportunities, request access, and move forward only after approval. This protects founder confidentiality while giving investors enough visibility to evaluate serious opportunities.
StartupLanes as Strategic Partner
Through this partnership, StartupLanes will play a strategic role in supporting the venture ecosystem around HowToBuySaaS. The collaboration aims to bring together SaaS founders, startup mentors, investors, business buyers, and ecosystem partners under one stronger platform-led initiative.
StartupLanes’ startup and investor network will support the broader mission of connecting SaaS founders with the right growth, funding, and acquisition opportunities.
Together, HowToBuySaaS and StartupLanes aim to create a trusted bridge between SaaS businesses that are ready to grow, raise, or exit — and the investors, buyers, and partners looking for quality opportunities.
Snehil Prakash to Work as Venture Partner Between HowToBuySaaS and StartupLanes
As Venture Partner, Snehil Prakash will work closely between HowToBuySaaS and StartupLanes to support the execution of this joint venture.
Snehil has been closely involved in building HowToBuySaaS from a SaaS-focused content and discovery platform into a broader SaaS marketplace and private deal ecosystem. His work will now focus on aligning the platform’s product direction, founder onboarding, investor access, SaaS growth strategy, and private acquisition marketplace model with StartupLanes’ larger startup ecosystem.
“HowToBuySaaS is no longer just a SaaS discovery platform. We are building a complete SaaS lifecycle ecosystem where founders can get discovered, grow, raise capital, and explore private exit opportunities. Our strategic partnership with StartupLanes gives this vision a much stronger ecosystem foundation,” said Snehil Prakash, former CEO of Techlithic Solution LLP and Venture Partner for the HowToBuySaaS–StartupLanes initiative.
“The SaaS market needs a trusted bridge between founders, investors, and buyers. Many good SaaS companies struggle with visibility, fundraising access, and structured exit conversations. Through this joint venture, we want to make that journey more organized, private, and opportunity-driven,” he added.
Solving a Real Gap for SaaS Founders and Investors
Many SaaS founders are able to build useful products but struggle to reach the right buyers, investors, or strategic acquirers. At the same time, investors and buyers often lack access to curated, early-stage, and growth-stage SaaS opportunities with enough business context.
HowToBuySaaS is addressing this gap by combining:
- Public SaaS product discovery
- Founder visibility and growth support
- Private fundraising opportunities
- Confidential SaaS acquisition listings
- Investor access workflows
- Strategic buyer discovery
- SaaS-focused content, comparisons, and market education
This makes HowToBuySaaS a platform for the complete SaaS journey — from discovery to growth, from growth to funding, and from funding to possible exit.
The Road Ahead
The HowToBuySaaS and StartupLanes partnership will focus on strengthening the platform’s position as a trusted ecosystem for SaaS founders and investors.
The joint initiative will support founder onboarding, curated SaaS listings, investor discovery, strategic partnerships, and private SaaS deal conversations.
With this pivoted model, HowToBuySaaS aims to become a powerful platform for SaaS companies that want to be discovered, grow faster, raise funds, or explore acquisition opportunities in a more structured and confidential way.
