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?
