Startup Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) are an integral part of any emerging business. These transactions may involve cash flow, technology exits, and other strategic benefits. From the buyer's perspective, cash flow is often an important consideration during an M&A. If the deal is structured appropriately, buyers often end up with a positive cash flow effectively treating the company as an asset rather than an expense.
On the other hand, a tech exit may be more attractive for smaller and more innovative enterprises. With a tech exit, the seller or company involved can reap the rewards associated with the sale of the intellectual property or technological platform that forms the basis of the M&A. While cash flow may be a key consideration, the decision to pursue an M&A requires thorough consideration of both cash and tech-exit criteria. Ultimately, the goal of any M&A should be to maximize strategic value for all parties involved from investors to newly acquired companies.
