Most startups are not built to be acquired.
If the don't struggle too much to raise money, then they struggle with developing features, or customers or sometimes they just act busy. But how can you really concentrate on what is important?
Acquirers do not buy effort. They buy signals.
In Zero to Acquisition, 388,000+ U.S. startups were analyzed between 2010-2019. We matched acquired vs. closed companies to find why some were acquired and why some failed. I did it to understand how to be successful in my own startup building and investing.
I share the important things in the book like:
• founder structure
• funding path
• patents and trademarks
• customer growth
• revenue signals
• acquirer fit
• time to exit
Buy the paperback, mark it up, and use it before your next fundraise, pivot, partnership, or acquisition conversation. If you follow these principles you can pitch my Angel Group or Venture Fund with the contact information in back of the book.
