For Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) firms, there is a substantial pool of capital from investors intended for acquiring or investing in companies. According to JPMorgan data, the number of private companies in the US backed by PE firms has surged from 1,900 to 11,200 over the past two decades. As investors seek faster growth, there is a growing demand for these firms to guide their portfolio companies towards more platform acquisitions, including bolt-on acquisitions, tuck-in acquisitions, and strategic acquisitions. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are here to stay and continue to grow. Thanks Makarand Teje for sharing this data point

Its interesting to meet multiple CXOs and learn about their M&A growth plans, from doing tucks-ins to acquiring sizeable assets globally. From acquiring capabilities, clients, revenues, sector expertise to building offshore/ nearshore presence. I am in Dallas this week and Bay Area next week. If you too are looking for inorganic growth globally, lets catchup for a coffee! I would love to learn about your growth plans. Thanks

Are you a first time acquirer! The M&A landscape is evolving, and many first-time acquirers are considering this step for inorganic growth. At GrowthPal, we often receive questions from #CEOs and #leaders on how to approach M&A effectively. Here are some key pointers to consider if you're exploring M&A for the first time: • Small Deal, Big Impact: Start small and learn from the process. A strategic, well-priced "bolt-on" acquisition can expand your reach or access to new technology, setting the stage for future growth. Define the gaps you want to fill via acquisitions that can't be filled internally. • Think Local, Grow Global: Begin by acquiring a complementary business within your existing geography. This minimizes cultural challenges and expands your footprint steadily. • Build an internal team: Create a governing team that will execute the process end-to-end, from sourcing to selection and integration. • Level Up Gradually: Gain experience with smaller deals before pursuing larger acquisitions. And you are not alone. GrowthPal's AI-powered deal sourcing platform helps you identify “Ready-to-transact” companies, guiding you through the entire M&A process, ensuring a smooth and successful journey.
