Strategic Acquirers' Network Virtual Huddle

Huddles are designed to gather small groups of members, by invitation, around areas of common concern to "crowd source" solutions and to hear differing points of view at a time when markets are shifting rapidly.

In a highly competitive market how do business evaluate the decision to proceed with M&A, Partnership or Minority Investments. Join corporate development peers (virtually) as we explore, learn and discuss the various factors that drive this decision process.

Meet Our Discussion Leaders:

Together our corporate development professionals will leverage their combined experiences to lead an informative discussion, directed largely by your areas of interest. Attendees can look forward to a highly interactive and engaging format with actionable insights.

Discussion Topics:

• When is it appropriate to consider if an opportunity would be better as a JV, partnership, or minority investment instead of a complete acquisition?
• What framework should be employed to make this decision? What factors play a role (i.e., valuation, time horizon, present-day issues)?
• How can a Buyer align incentives with a control / minority partner?
• Is a commercial agreement a prerequisite to the partnership / investment? 
• Can corporates help “incubate" early-stage companies in order to monitor potentially disruptive scenarios?
• Should corporates make purely financially-driven investments?
• How can the Corp Dev office “sell” these decisions to the C-Suite/Board?
