THE STATE OF M&A

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

If you're thinking about selling or merging your startup, expect shifting market valuations and pushy investors. Strategic buyers often pay more than private equity firms, so knowing your potential acquirer can boost your outcome. Start building buyer relationships early, figure out each side's goals, and, if needed, bring in a trusted investment bank for the negotiation. Don't wait until the last minute and risk a rushed or undervalued deal.
