3 key things you need to know when negotiating a tech acquisition

▤ Summary

2022 has been an incredibly tough year to scale a startup in. A lethal combination of climbing inflation, rising interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainty has cut off access to fresh capital for many ambitious technology companies, tanked revenues, and forced hiring cuts. Nevertheless, the potential for M&A activity remains high – as demonstrated by Adobe’s $20bn acquisition of Figma and Mandiant’s $5.4bn sale to Google – and some opportunistic startup leaders will see the current climate as an opportunity to expand their business and join forces with another industry player to achieve their common goals.
