Canada’s technology industry is booming, and M&A activity in the sector is rapidly heating up. Tech M&A features many unique issues, challenges and dynamics that are critical to consider and address in order to get the deal done.
Fresh off the high-profile US$575 million acquisition of PlentyofFish by Match Group, Lance Barton, a key architect of that transaction for Match Group, and other industry experts will join us to discuss what you need to know at all stages of tech M&A deals.
The panel will provide practical insights into some of the key business, financial and legal issues specific to M&A in the technology sector, including:
- Opportunities:
- identifying tech M&A opportunities
- valuation metrics in the tech universe
- Risks:
- identifying unique risks in the tech space – IP, security, privacy, competition
