Startup M&A: Valuation, Buyers, and Deal Readiness with Bas Scheele | Podcast Episode 16

What really drives valuation in today’s tech M&A and fundraising market, and how can founders be deal-ready before they “need” a deal? In this episode, Alina Nauen is joined by Bas Scheele, Managing Partner at torq.partners Benelux and an advisor for M&A and fundraising in high-growth startups and scale-ups. Bas shares what he’s seeing in today’s European market, why more founders are choosing profitable growth and earlier exits, and how buyer types shape outcomes. We break down how strategic buyers value synergies versus how financial investors price a standalone business, why fundraising valuations often follow a different logic than M&A, and what really drives value when markets are tighter.
