16% of startups exit. Over 80% fail.

Great execution is the most critical factor in setting up a company for a successful M&A event. However, proper M&A planning can make the difference between a blockbuster deal - or no deal. Great execution and proper planning are critically important to success. 
 
In this webinar, TechStrat’s Nat Burgess, Steve Peltier, and Michael Bolotin, provide real-world advice on maximizing M&A opportunities for tech companies, specific guidance on being diligence-ready, and tips for using finance as a strategic tool to maximize valuation.

  • Aligning shareholders, board, management, and employees
  • Optimizing operations to be "diligence ready"
  • Scripting early conversations with interested buyers
  • Knowing who your potential buyers are - and how you can help them
