They dive into the psychology, timelines, and goals that drive acquisitions, explaining how sellers can tailor their exit strategies to match the right buyer and maximize value.
You’ll learn how to evaluate buyer fit beyond financials, understand valuation nuances, and spot emerging trends like the rise of search funds and operator-led acquisitions. This conversation offers CFOs, founders, and finance leaders a clear roadmap for navigating M&A with confidence and clarity.
