Key Takeaways

Market Volatility

The geopolitical uncertainty, rising interest rates, and record levels of inflation are making it difficult for businesses to engage in M&A activities.

Pricing

The price expectations of most tech companies are still very high and they might wait out a little longer for any M&A activities they would like to engage with.

M&A Opportunities

In certain sub-sectors, particularly in fintech, we see that the number of opportunities is increasing, given there are fewer opportunities to raise capital and finance growth.

ESG

ESG considerations are still an important part of dealmaking.

Due Dilligence

There are also new areas that companies started to incorporate into their due diligence process like compliance, regulatory quality, data privacy and cybersecurity.
