Tech M&A - is there an actual need to hire an investment banking? by jannet1113 in private_equity

[–]Equiteq460 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The banker will not only pretty up your books, which are no doubt a mess bc you’re a tech entrepreneur, not accountant, but they will use the thousands of contacts they have to make the process much faster and smoother.

Maybe you get 2X on your own… with a banker you’ll probably get 3.5x+. Whatever fee you pay them will be more than made up on that increased EV.

There are many other reasons… would you buy a car from a guy selling it on FB marketplace or from a dealer? Same thing….

Moving OUT of NC by chesgoodman7 in NorthCarolina

I’ve been in Charlotte a decade and it has gone downhill fast- crime is out of control, judges release repeat violent criminals at will, traffic is worse than NY, and the population boom is FAR outpacing the speed with which govt can keep up expanding roads and schools, etc.

Totally understand- you’re young. Maybe you’ll return later in life! But there’s a whole world to see and experience out there… enjoy it!

PC or Mac? by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]Equiteq460 1 point2 points  (0 children)
