Intro: The focus on outcomes in M&A and corporate dealmaking highlights the importance of a robust deal thesis, also known as an investment thesis. As the saying goes: to maximize potential, “begin with the end in mind.” So, how does one develop an effective deal thesis?

Many software entrepreneurs question the value of hiring an M&A advisor. As ambitious and challenge-oriented people, they feel capable of running a process themselves.

“Stability leads to instability. The more stable things become and the longer things are stable, the more unstable they will be when the crisis hits.” Hyman Minsky, American Economist (1919-1996) Hyman Minsky proposed theories linking market fragility and the normal economic cycle with speculative bubbles innate to financial markets. He theorized that prolonged periods of stability breed complacency and lead to unpredictable behavior, which can worsen the eventual bust cycle.
