Liquidity is back-but it looks very different than 2021.
While the IPO window remains selective, acquisitions have reemerged as the primary exit path for venture-backed startups. Strategic buyers are actively pursuing AI, infrastructure, fintech, cybersecurity, & vertical software companies, while private equity & growth investors are reshaping the market through rollups, secondaries, & sponsor-backed acquisitions. Recent data suggests M&A accounts for the majority of venture-backed exits in today's market.
Join founders, investors, corporate development leaders, M&A advisors, & startup attorneys for an honest discussion about the current acquisition landscape for Series A & later-stage startups.
We'll discuss:
What are strategic acquirers are actively buying in 2026?
How is AI changing acquisition demand & valuation premiums, specifically valuation expectations versus 2021 & 2022 vintages?
How are these transactions structured legally? The return of acquihires & talent-driven transactions.
What tax considerations should founders & companies address to prepare for a tax-efficient exit, & when is the best time to engage a tax professional to evaluate these considerations?
What do industry experts predict about the future of early stage startup M&A for the rest of 2026?
