OSFS Special Episode: Being a Strategic Acquisition Target as an OSS Company with Thomas Di Giacomo

OSFS Special Episode: Being a Strategic Acquisition Target as an OSS Company with Thomas Di Giacomo

In this special episode to promote Open Source Founders Summit, I went deep with Thomas di Giacomo about how open source companies can position themselves as attractive acquisition targets for strategic buyers.


If you are the founder of an open source company and you have the idea of being acquired even in the back of your mind, this is a must-listen episode. Whether or not you plan to join us May 27th and 28th in Paris, though of course we hope you do join us.


By the way, at OSFS Thomas is going to lead a workshop on the topic of being an acquisition target for open source companies. It will be interactive, which means you can ASK QUESTIONS.


In this podcast episode, he talked about:


  • Exits 101. You probably know that strategic buyers usually pay more for companies than other types of acquirers, but we talked about different exit strategies and what they entail
  • Why strategic buyers acquire businesses (in general) but also why you, as the business seller, need to understand every specific potential acquirer’s story and goals so you can see how your company fits into their strategic plan
  • Strategic acquisitions are about 1+1=3… so you have to know what your buyer’s “3” is
  • Why it’s important to be self-aware and know your own goals before you sign any acquisition paperwork


And tons more…


If you want the chance to ask Thomas about strategic acquisitions for OSS companies — as well as to talk about sales strategies, lead generation and more — join us at OSFS 24 in Paris this May 27th and 28th. —> Get your invite here.


PS the audio was a little quiet, but so if you’re having trouble hearing turn up the volume, it’s worth it.
