About
"In an acquihire, you must focus on retention. You have to ensure that the people who join your company stay in your company long enough for the thesis to make sense." - Mark Khavkin
An acquihire is an acquisition, but with the sole purpose of acquiring talent. In most cases, buyers don't acquire the company or legal entity, which reduces risks. In addition, due diligence is no longer necessary, as the buyer is not inheriting the company's liabilities.
In this webinar, Thomas Gorman, Strategy & Corporate Development at Pantheon Platform, and Mark Khavkin, CFO at Pantheon Platform, discuss executing acquihires.
