This article is essentially a damaging self-fulfilling prophecy camouflaging as analysis. The world is full of turnarounds, and stories where "mistakes" turn out to be happy accidents: "maybe so, maybe not."
Phones and photography are banned in many Berlin clubs - they either lock your phone away at the entrance or put a sticker on the camera. That's why you barely see any footage from inside Berghain anywhere...
I've been thinking a lot about what constitutes "AI-native". In this "blog", I'm exploring this question by turning the blog post itself into something you can prompt and change as you read it.
I am exploratively beginning to offer M&A coaching for CEO/founders of smaller startups (less than 5M in ARR). This is basically a service I wish I have had access to when (and before!) I sold my own SaaS ML company last year.
I will share everything I have learned about the small-time M&A market and process, including:
* managing your own psychology and expectations as founder/CEO
* working with M&A advisors, 'banks' and your lawyers
* managing and preparing your shareholders/investors/team
* negotiating term sheets and valuations
* housekeeping and getting through due diligence
Note that I will not introduce you to a buyer or get your company sold. Instead, my goal is to help you as a founder to be more "M&A ready" when the time is right.
