With nearly 15 years of experience at the Sage Group and roles at Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, and Lehman Brothers, Arash Farin brings a wealth of real-world insights from the frontlines of M&A, private placements, secondary transactions, and more.Together, they unpack how deal dynamics shift when the stakes move from $100 million to $2 billion, what founders often overlook when trying to position themselves as a “big deal,” and the tell-tale signs that separate a truly differentiated business from just another marketing play.
