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?

With public companies, private companies, a couple obvious differences. Public companies usually can be resourced better. Maybe the quality of their information is higher, maybe the amount of experience they have in M&A activity is greater. So you can tap into some institutional knowledge versus private companies. Big private companies can have all the same characteristics, but small ones can have none of those. Secondly, when you work with a public company, chances are you're working with a board or management team where they've just done this before. This is one of a series of transactions that would have worked on across their. Career and they are just professional yeah you know corporate leaders and they're great like they they are the right people you want in that seat but when you're talking to a founder or someone who's going to have one maybe 2 exits in the life it takes on a whole different. You know, scale in terms of like the headspace. Again, that's not to diminish the role that a board member or a CEO of a public company has, but it's just different. Like if you own all the equity and ultimately, you know, you're just deciding like my lifestyle is intertwined in this like like like what my kids think of as where my parents go to work is tied up into this takes on a different. So in those instances, you can find that you play equal part shoulder to cry on therapist, you know, friend. As well as sophisticated financial advisor.
