Despite volatility in the markets, M&A opportunity is holding strong for privately held technology companies. We are seeing a record number of Letters of Intent (LOIs) from buyers and record M&A deals. What’s driving this? Collectively, buyers still have a tremendous amount of cash, and they need to buy to survive.
What does it take to get an optimal outcome? What does each step of that process look like? What causes a deal to fall apart? What are buyers looking for? What are the mistakes you can avoid now to guarantee a successful exit later?
