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
