Why this search matters
Mega-cap M&A is a small, repeat-player universe. Knowing who's actually transacted at $1B+ — and at what frequency — anchors any conversation about top-of-market deals: pitch comps, co-investor sourcing, IC "who plays at this size" references, LP / fund-of-funds benchmarking, and target-account lists for vendors and service providers selling into the M&A ecosystem.
Note on deal values: Mergr filters this list to deals where value is disclosed. Many large M&A deals don't publish terms. Treat this list as the disclosed large-deal universe, not the absolute largest.
