I completely agree with Alexander Eck’s assessment. While most M&A will revolve around financials, startups greatest assets can be found in intellectual capital. Having a clear understanding of the startups’ needs and the synergies that a merger could create to expedite their growth is key. Even though the current financials may not make sense, acquiring the right startup may create a greater source of revenue, faster than creating a new product in-house.
