Can talent due diligence (or a lack thereof) be the difference between M&A success and M&A failure? We touched on this in our webinar earlier this year on Value Creation Planning and Sumeet Salwan, co-founder at CEO.works does a great job of expanding on the subject in this piece. Food for thought this summer. #mergersandacquisitions #summerreading #privateequity #corporatedevelopment https://lnkd.in/e2ytrEqi

There's a rumor that "80% of all deals sourced in Private Equity will have an AI component to it" - and we're not at all surprised. Marc Chase from Baker Tilly US covers the AI-for-deal-sourcing landscape well in this short video with the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) but we'd add that the top of the funnel is actually well served by AI already too. We should know - we've been doing it for 8 years. Good insight here though and well worth a few minutes of your time if you're trying to understand how AI is shaping deal sourcing in Private Equity. #mergersandacquisitions #privateequity #dealsourcing
AI is widely expected to change the entire M&A lifecycle, and for some aspects of the deal cycle, that transformation is already here. Marc Chase, leader of the private equity industry at Baker Tilly US, joined us on GrowthTV to discuss how AI is changing the deal sourcing process, and to share actionable tips on how dealmakers can integrate AI effectively into their own processes.

What does the M&A Software Landscape look like in 2024? The industry has moved at breakneck speed over the last couple of years, and with AI becoming more mainstream, many new offerings are on the table. The 2024 report by Fintalent.io does a great job of pulling it all together. We especially like the map and the commentary by Flippa.com's Blake Hutchison, DealRoom' Kison Patel, and Finquest's very own CEO and Co-Founder, Tanguy Lesselin. Thanks Ömer F. Güven, CFA and Tobias Liebsch for the inclusion in this great report.

Deal values are up but deal volumes are down, the US is driving the rebound, and there are pockets of bright spots. Maria Heeter & Ivan Levingston from the Financial Times summarize the state of play in H1 2024 in this succinct piece today. Well worth a couple of minutes of your time. #mergersandacquisitions
The value of deals struck was 22% higher than a year earlier, driven by a surge in US takeovers and an uptick in megamergers. https://on.ft.com/3xDRH6X
