I run a $4.2B 9-year-old company that's acquired 3 startups. M&A makes increasing sense for companies like mine-not just the Fortune 500
Briefly

Larger companies have traditionally dominated mergers and acquisitions due to their resources and infrastructure. However, smaller organizations are starting to engage in M&A strategically. For instance, one cybersecurity company has completed significant acquisitions to enhance its growth without sidelining organic development. Key to this success lies in intentionality; each acquisition must align with existing offerings and respond to customer needs. This shift suggests smaller firms are acknowledging M&A as a crucial growth lever, even amid their limited scales and operational strains.
Similar to larger companies, smaller organizations are increasingly recognizing the potential of M&A as a strategic tool for growth, despite their limited resources.
Our experience shows that M&A can be transformative for startups, provided each acquisition aligns closely with our core offerings and meets customer demands.
