M&A Masters

What does a buyer who has closed 27 acquisitions actually look for before making an offer? When your industry is consolidating around you, how do you decide whether to raise capital and become the platform or sell to one?

Bill McLaughlin, CEO of Thrive, joins Patrick Stroth to explain how a serial acquirer evaluates a target. Thrive is a technology outsourcing provider delivering cybersecurity, cloud, and managed IT services to mid-market SMB clients.

You'll discover...
- What Thrive screens for in an acquisition target
- Why integrating people is harder than integrating technology, and what that means for the leaders and employees of an acquired company
- Why Thrive uses rep and warranty insurance on every deal
