TechCrunch: M&A

APRIL 20, 2023

Every so often, a new startup crosses your radar and reminds you how exciting hardware can be. It’s a relative rarity in consumer electronics, a category dominated by corporations like Samsung, Apple and Sony, which are (perhaps understandably) somewhat risk averse. Melbourne-based Nura was one such company. I distinctly remember the startup paying a visit to TechCrunch’s New York offices not long after I started here.

The old adage was: When you lose a job, you tell everyone. You share that you are back in the market with everyone that you know in all industries. As the expression goes with traditional networking, “You are only one step away from someone who can introduce you to the right someone that can get you a new position.” I personally believe going this route hurts your opportunity to get a better position.

Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.

While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up. Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations.

Not only because they serve as the foundation for building trust and credibility with clients, but also because they are key responsibilities that come with the role. These values are crucial for the successful outcome of the transaction, and for avoiding any legal or ethical issues that may arise during the process.

Growing a small business is hard. Bootstrapping the capital necessary to grow is difficult and time consuming and most entrepreneurs would rather get to the business of their business versus raising or thinking about money. So when a large corporation, perhaps a super big competitor or a household name stops by and suggests giving you a small investment, it may seem like a dream come true.
