  • Craziest thing in M&A? For Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang, CEO of AvePoint, it’s all about integration. In a recent interview, TJ shared a story about a deal where the acquirer had to remind the acquired employees: “You realize we bought you, right?” Post-acquisition integration is where things get messy. Cultures clash, systems collide, and if people don’t buy into the vision, the deal can fall apart. Buying a company is one thing. Winning over its people? That’s where the madness—and the magic—happens. Want to hear more about navigating this chaos? Watch our podcast with TJ: https://hubs.ly/Q02XgsB50 What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen in M&A?

  • Working with public companies versus private companies in M&A presents investment bankers with two very different landscapes. As Avinash Patel, Partner at PJT Partners, highlights, public companies typically come with an abundance of data, experienced management teams, and well-established valuations. In contrast, private companies often require investment bankers to navigate a more personal and emotional journey. Founders may face deeply personal decisions tied to their legacies, with emotions running high throughout the process. Want to dive deeper into this topic?

In this episode of the M&A Science Podcast, Avinash Patel, Partner at PJT Partners, pulls back the curtain on the critical role elite investment bankers play in M&A.

  • In the world of M&A, no one’s going to wake up one day and magically decide to sell their company—or follow your timeline. As Henry Ward, CEO and Co-founder of Carta, puts it: you can’t just sit around waiting for them to feel motivated. They’ve got their own priorities. If you want to get things moving, you need to understand what makes them tick and show them why the deal works for them. That’s how you create momentum. Check out a recent episode of the M&A Science Podcast to hear Henry break it all down: https://hubs.ly/Q02STwsZ0
