Watch Christina Ungaro, Chief Global Mergers & Acquisitions Officer at Qualfon, for a  Buyer-Led M&A™ Masterclass that dives deep into the nuances of founder- and employee-owned acquisitions.

Many of the best acquisition opportunities lie outside of auction processes—hidden among bootstrapped, founder-owned businesses. But these deals require a different approach: more relationship-building, greater transparency, and a tailored process to win over founders and key employees.

In this interactive session, Christina shares real-world strategies and examples from years of sourcing and executing founder-led deals. You’ll learn: 

  • Proven tools and tactics to uncover bootstrapped companies before they hit the markets
  • Tips for building relationships and crafting personalized outreach that resonates 
  • Best practices for structuring deals with earn-outs and retention incentives
  • How to adapt diligence speed to seller sophistication and prepare disclosure schedules without surprises
