Buy-Side M&A Masterclass, Pt. 1 | Before You Buy: Strategy, Criteria & Sourcing

Acquiring a business can be the fastest way to grow—but it’s also the easiest way to destroy value if you don’t know what you’re doing. In this first installment of the Buy-Side M&A Masterclass series, Paul Giannamore shares real-world lessons on how to avoid the common pitfalls that turn promising acquisitions into “dumpster fires.” From strategy alignment to culture clashes, Paul breaks down the essential steps every CEO should take before writing that first check. Drawing from decades of experience advising on both sides of the table, Paul reveals how to: 🔹 Know if an acquisition is truly right for you 🔹 Separate good reasons from bad reasons to buy 🔹 Build a proprietary deal pipeline like private equity 🔹 Avoid overpaying for synergies you create 🔹 Protect yourself from hidden risks and failed integrations Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned dealmaker, this masterclass equips you with the framework to pursue acquisitions with clarity and confidence.
