CEOs: Increase your profit margin using these tools: 1️⃣ Develop technologies in house. Do it via cross-functional collaboration and teamwork. You can mitigate errors on a risk-taking strategy 2️⃣ Partnerships that enhance your capabilities. Connect with partners that are not usual for your industry. You can find amazing solutions this way. 3️⃣ Acquire another company (if you can). Think about the future goals for your company. For example, technology companies that can boost your results in the long run. 4️⃣ Develop new products and services. Do this by combining the other three elements for powerful results. #BusinessStrategy #business #BusinessExpansion #businesstransformation #CustomerCentricity #BusinessGrowth #BusinessTips #BusinessMindset #ProductDevelopment #Acquisitions #Partnership #Startups #technology #IncreaseProfit #ProfitMargin

What strategic problem does this M&A solve for us? Startups need to ask questions like this too. Yes, M&A is a great startup path to exit. But don't just focus on the acquisition price. Or what your future role will be in a merger. As founder, you have the responsibility to… → Do what’s best for your company. → Ensure its continuous growth. → Protect your people. And to do that, you need to ask crucial questions in an M&A. Will the M&A… > Create synergies? > Retain your team? > Protect the culture? > Solve your problem? > Serve your customers? A lot of changes will happen and not every startup is ready for that. Don’t let your startup get buried after an M&A. Look at the key questions to ask below.

There are four main ways an investor can help founders 📝 — Access to downstream capital or capital from strategic investors. 💰 — Access to talent – How can you increase the output of the business?. 👤 — Sales pipeline – How can you help grow revenue directly? 📈 — Strategy – Do you have unique insight into the industry, business model, product, GTM, or team management that will move the business forward meaningfully? 🚀 — Business problem-solving in real-time. 🆘 #fundraising #investment #startups #capitalraising #raisingcapital #founders

All you need to do is look for the right acquirer. Said no M&A advisor ever. But many founders have this mindset. Come up with a targeted strategy. Get involved in trends to create buzz. Inflate numbers to look impressive on paper. Think hypergrowth is enough to impress acquirers. But just like your product… Your company needs to solve a problem. Your company needs to address a need. Your company needs to offer synergies. Acquirers won’t be interested if you can’t add strategic value to their portfolio. Don’t expect to get acquired just because you start looking for an acquirer. #founders #investors #venturecapital #privateequity #startups #i5invest 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 i5invest: We are a corporate development firm with access to 150K+ top decision-makers in Strategy, Business Development, and M&A.

M&A is 𝗡𝗢𝗧 always the best path to take for your startup. You need to know what you bring to the table. And why an M&A is good for your startup. It has to be a win-win situation. As the founder, you need to consider that M&A can cause: 🔻 Major shifts in the startup's original vision and plans 🔻 Adjusting to new systems and best practices 🔻 Disruption in teams and cultural clash Only when you determine that the rewards outweigh the risks… That’s when you plan to mitigate these challenges. The M&A should result in one or more of the following benefits: 1. Revenue increase 2. Cost reductions 3. Capital efficiencies 4. Financial opportunities It’s not just about the acquisition price. Or the added R&D support from mergers. You need to secure the future of your startup. Ask the questions below and get an M&A advisor to guide you. Considering M&A?

A good starting questionnaire for M&A synergies.

Is M&A only for biggies? A must-read note for mid-sized companies Contrary to popular belief, M&A is not only for biggies – it can be the right step for any #company at any stage of #business , provided they have the M&A maturity. Speaking with 300+ #CXOs and #CorpDev #leaders at different stages of #growth in their companies reinforced this reality for us. So, are you a mid-sized company looking to grow faster? Organic growth alone may be time-consuming, so why not explore #inorganic growth?  Here are a few things to know about: 1. What is M&A maturity? 2. How can a midsize enterprise become an aggressive acquire? 3. Why is M&A a must-play game for midsize companies?

Sometimes the M&A deal should NOT progress because the synergy expectations aren't grounded in reality. While BML Ventures focus on technology, digital IP and digital business operational due diligence, it is not just used to quantify common tech/IT associated synergies, but it our engagement is significantly used to validate other synergy expectations. After all, every business these days are a digital business, so technology underpins all aspects of operations, market access and scaling. As David Hauser states; synergies need to be objectively calculated during due diligence, not just stated as given expectations. #duediligence #techduediligence #mergersandacquistions
