Laymen’s knowledge of M&A can get you killed. “Enough knowledge to be dangerous” is the equivalent of a PE exec saying about their Private Equity investment into a founder \/ business operator: ‘we are giving them enough rope to choke themselves.’ What I am saying is that the below knowledge will keep you from financial ruin. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Eek. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Listen up. This is a crash course for M&A. It’s only for tech founders with an advanced engineering and an MBA<\/b><\/i>. If you have neither, <\/span>#stramgt353mAndA<\/a> is not going to make a whole lot of sense. <\/font>#Stramgt353<\/a> and <\/font>M&A together might not make a lot of sense because a blog post is a horrible forum to spell out the theorem of <\/span>#Stramgt353mAndA<\/a>. <\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
Yes, theorem. My <\/font>#stramgt353mAndA<\/a> theorem solves the proof “beware of corp dev”. Like a geometric proof, <\/font>M&A has Corp Dev Sharks that’ll eat your tech startup, before it takes off…<\/span><\/div>\n
