Description

Traditionally, companies have acquired other companies that are similar to their own organization to drive synergies. However, this has changed; today, technology is the number one driver for merger & acquisition (M&A) deals. Companies are acquiring others to pursue technology assets or digital strategies they do not possess themselves and to keep them away from competitors. For startups, this provides a unique opportunity since being acquired is one of the most favorable exit strategies.

But how to find the right partner?

How to look attractive as a start-up to be considered as a target?

What comes after Day 1?

How to make an integration culturally successful?

This MIT forum will shed light on tech acquisitions. It brings together M&A experts and experienced buyers and sellers to explore success factors in the M&A space and how to manage successfully through an acquisition.

Join us on Wednesday February 20th, 2019. We will be accompanied by Kevin O’Connor, a Santa Barbara serial entrepreneur. Kevin founded and sold 3 companies including DoubleClick, which was sold to Google for $3.1 Billion. He also brought Amazon to Santa Barbara when selling his 3rd company “Graphiq” to the tech giant in May 2017.
