Top M&A Entrepreneurs
Every week, we talk to the "Top M&A Entrepreneurs" today to ask them about their Acquisition Journey. When and why they started and what was the call to adventure. We talk about where and how they source their deals, how they analyze deals, how they do valuation, and how they negotiate a deal. We talk about how they finance a deal and how they raised capital to acquire the deal. We talk about their successes, failures and what keeps them inspired.
