📚📖 Our Co-founder Florian Bauer has launched a study this year on the topic of "M&A in SMEs" together with the Bundesverband Mergers & Acquisitions gem. e.V. (BM&A gem. e.V.), in cooperation with its publication M&A REVIEW and the University of Bristol. This study is the third continuation since 2022 and takes into account new aspects (e.g., openness, strategic direction, ESG). Its goal is to evaluate the current status of medium-sized companies that are either involved in acquisitions or affected by acquisitions of their competitors. 📥 In order to download the complete study (only German version) that was presented at the Shift & Change Mittelstandstag head over to: https://lnkd.in/edvMiSiq or read the latest issue of Lebenswerk - Das Magazin für den Mittelstand. #mittelstand #SME #mergerandacquisition #manda

M&A Summit 2024 is a wrap! 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣🎉 The summit served as a platform for insightful workshops and inspiring panel discussions.  Two days packed with learnings on current M&A work streams. We had the chance to present our target screening solution in the context of M&A digitalization along side our colleagues at Palturai and Valu8 Company Intelligence. The first event evening was entirely under the theme „Women in M&A“.  We listened to personal anecdotes from Melanie Wiese, Dr. Dorothee Prosteder, Karin Schaeuble und Isabelle Pernegger on their path to M&A leadership. A truly inspiring podium discussion. We can’t wait to see what grows from it! The second day was filled with keynote speeches by leading M&A experts and the respective podium discussions. Thanks to Niels Fischer, Philipp R. Wörner / EQT Group, Dirk Schmelzer / Scout24 SE, Martin Sundermann / Osborne Clarke, Ben Husemann / Giesecke+Devrient, Dr. Hermann Rock / rock negotiation, Jan Simon Grintsch / EY-Parthenon & Dr. Georg Beckmann / EY for all the insightful impulse speeches. The following M&A award ceremony was eagerly awaited by all attendees and all deals that were honored have been truly impressive. This year was the first time that M&A advisory was also awarded.

⭐M&A Summit⭐ We were more than happy to attend the event „Women in M&A“ by Bundesverband Mergers & Acquisitions gem. e.V. (BM&A gem. e.V.) 2024. Dr. Mai Anh Dao got to present our qualitative study findings on different career paths of female M&A leaders.  The podium discussion served as a platform to bring them to the spotlight and to learn from their way to success. A big thank you to everyone who attended the panel discussion. We listened to personal anecdotes from ◉ Karin Schaeuble, Director M&A bei Wörwag Pharma GmbH & Co. KG ◉ Melanie Wiese, CFO bei Deutsche Beteiligungs AG ◉ Isabelle Pernegger, Partner Deloitte  ◉ Dr. Dorothee Prosteder, Partner Noerr One of the common grounds that all panel participants agreed on is that divers teams yield the most productive outcomes. A model that we at MADiscover can 100% support and try to live up to. #womenempowerment #mergerandacquisition #MASummit #manda #frauninma #mandaco 📸 credits Marion Vogel

🤝 Client feedback of the month: “The MADiscover approach and the results were very, very good, especially compared to the M&A boutique. There were some good new companies that neither we nor the M&A boutique had on our radar.  AND: the argument of time efficiency!  With you, we invested less time – only 3-4 hours – for a significantly better outcome. Therefore, we would like to roll out your solution to three additional business areas.“ The MADiscover competition - how we found hidden forestry champions in hours that no-one has ever heard of before. M&A Boutique network vs. AI-based big data analytics A client challenged us to compare our AI-based target screening results vs. an established industry M&A boutique. We both received the same onboarding information upfront to identify possible M&A targets. 🌲The screening project: * Search scope: Expanding the product portfolio in the forestry industry * Geography: United States & Canada * Revenue: 8-25M USD 🪡The screening challenge: * Very specific requirements for technical features of the machines * Finding a needle in the haystack: difficulty of finding targets within the revenue sweet spot (can you spot the mistake Midjourney made creating the picture?) #clientfeedback #manda #targetsearch #dealsourcing
