The IPO window is reopening. M&A is picking back up. And a backlog of PE-backed companies that delayed exits in 2022 and 2023 are now under real pressure to move. Adam Olsen and Nicole Harger break down the dual-track exit, the strategy of running an IPO process and an M&A process at the same time, and what's driving renewed interest in it right now.This is part one of a two-part series. Part two goes operational: what the CFO and finance organization need in place, and how far in advance.In this episode:What a dual-track exit actually is, and why running both processes simultaneously creates leverage that neither path generates on its ownWho uses this strategy: PE-backed companies remain the dominant profile, but corporate carve-outs and growth-stage companies are increasingly exploring it tooWhy most dual-track processes end in M&A, and why that's often the intended outcome rather than a failure of the IPO trackThe market backdrop heading into summer 2026: improving conditions, a buildup of past-hold-period PE portfolio companies, and a more disciplined IPO market than 2020-2021Inside the IPO track: the S-1 process, the three-year audited financial statement requirement, PCAOB auditor considerations, carve-out accounting complexity, and realistic 12-18 month preparation timelinesInside the M&A track: the CIM process, strategic versus financial sponsor buyer dynamics, quality of earnings diligence, the working capital peg negotiation, and the gap between signed LOI and closeWhy the financial rigor required for IPO readiness is the same rigor that protects valuation in an M&A process, and why there's no shortcut on either side
COMMENTAIRE DE L'ÉVANGILE DU JOURMt 23, 23-26En ce temps-là, Jésus disait : « Malheureux êtes-vous, scribes et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous payez la dîme sur la menthe, le fenouil et le cumin, mais vous avez négligé ce qui est le plus important dans la Loi : la justice, la miséricorde et la fidélité. Voilà ce qu'il fallait pratiquer sans négliger le reste. Guides aveugles ! Vous filtrez le moucheron, et vous avalez le chameau ! Malheureux êtes-vous, scribes et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous purifiez l'extérieur de la coupe et de l'assiette, mais l'intérieur est rempli de cupidité et d'intempérance ! Pharisien aveugle, purifie d'abord l'intérieur de la coupe, afin que l'extérieur aussi devienne pur. »

Dane Pan and his wife built Monet Brands to $1.3 million in revenue with two employees, selling a $24.99 skincare tool that cost them $6.10. When they took the company to market in 2025, nine buyers cleared the proof-of-funds screen and four of them wrote an LOI. The best offer came in close to four times SDE with a holdback attached. Dane countered for all cash at close, watched two of his four offers disappear, and signed at 3.6
COMMENTAIRE DE L'ÉVANGILE DU JOURMt 22, 34-40En ce temps-là, Les pharisiens, apprenant que Jésus avait fermé la bouche aux sadducéens, se réunirent, et l'un d'entre eux, un docteur de la Loi, posa une question à Jésus pour le mettre à l'épreuve : « Maître, dans la Loi, quel est le grand commandement ? » Jésus lui répondit : « Tu aimeras le Seigneur ton Dieu de tout ton cœur, de toute ton âme et de tout ton esprit. Voilà le grand, le premier commandement. Et le second lui est semblable : Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même. De ces deux commandements dépend toute la Loi, ainsi que les Prophètes. »

In Episode 385 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, every business owner believes the same lie: if it's profitable, it's sellable. The man who sells companies for a living says that's wrong. Buyers don't pay for profit. They pay for what keeps working after you walk out the door. Mark Hartmann has sat on both sides of the deal table. His medical claims cost containment company made the Inc. 5000 list three years in a row -- and then a private equity group offered him three times earnings on a three-year earnout, and he learned in an instant that he'd built a golden trap. Wildly profitable, over a million in EBITDA, and it all ran through him. Three years later, after rebuilding the company for transferability, he sold it for eight figures with 42 inquiries coming in after the LOI was signed. Today he runs HartmannRhodes, an M&A advisory firm helping owners of $1 million to $25 million companies actually get sold, and he wrote the book on it: Sweat Equity Payday. This lie is comfortable because every scoreboard confirms it. The P&L says you're winning. The bank believes it. The award lists believe it. But building a successful business and successfully selling that business are two entirely different disciplines -- and 8 out of 10 businesses that go to market never sell. Not because they're bad businesses. Because of owner dependence. In this episode, Jason and Mark cover: The earnout offer that exposed the lie -- why Mark walked away from three times earnings in his thirties, and when an earnout is the only option left How Mark made himself "completely useless" in his own company in three years -- and sold for eight figures because of it Why 80% of businesses that go to market never sell, and why the number one reason is owner dependence, not business quality The Kidnap Test from Mark's book: what happens to your company if you disappear for a day, a week, a month, a quarter -- and who can sign checks, run payroll, and pay vendors without you Why 9 out of 10 owners who show up ready to sell aren't actually ready -- and the generational mindset keeping boomers from ever planning an exit "You're selling a really awesome job" -- why Main Street deals die while private equity roll-ups are buying up home services and specialty contracting The horror story: a $12 million contractor, due diligence that was death by a thousand stab wounds, and a buyer who retraded the deal at the finish line -- and why the sellers walked The opposite case: how a fractional CFO staged a company for sale after the CEO's death, and it sold faster than expected for more than the valuation Mark's de-risk framework: de-risk the owner, the vendors, the customer concentration, and the employees -- plus three to five years of clean financials The trick question Mark asks every owner -- "What's your business worth?" -- and the only two answers he accepts The one thing Mark wants every owner still inside this lie to hear before the episode ends The lie costs owners the exit itself. Every business owner will exit vertically or horizontally, and only God knows when. A good business does not guarantee a good exit -- preparation, timing, and a competitive process do. This episode is about finding that out now, while it can still be fixed.
The Most Dangerous Deal Is the Only Deal You Have One of the biggest dangers in business acquisition begins when you stop evaluating a deal and start trying to make it work. Why does that happen? Often because it's the only deal you have. When your pipeline is empty, it's easy to rationalize an unmotivated seller, insufficient revenue, weak profitability or problems you convince yourself you can fix after closing. In this episode, I discuss why business buyers should continue prospecting even when they're negotiating an LOI or conducting due diligence, and why having alternatives gives you one of the most important advantages in an acquisition: The ability to walk away. Your job isn't to buy a business. Your job is to buy the right business.

In this episode, Frank talks with Nick D'Andrea, owner of AMDG Advisors in Moosic, about helping founder- and family-owned businesses prepare for and execute sell-side M&A. They cover how owners should think about legacy vs. cash goals, what buyers focus on (EBITDA, margins, trailing 12 months), common financial red flags like accounts receivable and messy P&Ls, and why it's best to engage an advisor before signing an LOI. Nick outlines his end-to-end sales process from CIM creation and buyer outreach to management presentations, LOIs, due diligence, and closing, plus typical deal structures like owners staying on, rolling equity, or bonuses for employees.

Rob Bergeron writes a free newsletter at five in the morning, five days a week, and has for years. One Saturday he sent it out saying he saw something happening between data and energy and wanted in. A reader named Mark, who had never once replied in five years, wrote back. That email became a data center company that has since shrunk the standard footprint by 92 percent. That is the whole method. Rob publishes in public, constantly and for free, and lets the right people find him. Rob calls himself the tilapia of realtors. He owns Winner Realty in Louisville, runs OffMarket.deals nationally, writes The Morning Bergeron five days a week, and is building what he hopes becomes the institutional standard for data centers. On paper that is four unrelated businesses. In practice it is one move, repeated. The wholesalers in Louisville were all convinced they were competing for the same buyers. Rob ran comps for them for years and never once took a deal off them. When he finally asked for their buyer lists, they handed them over. He merged those lists with his own, charged two thousand dollars only when he brought the buyer, and made forty two thousand in year one. That business is now OffMarket.deals. He posted on the BiggerPockets subreddit because nobody else was posting there. That produced David Greene. He sent one newsletter into the void about data and energy. That produced a partner, a connection to HKS, and a design that shrinks data center footprints by 92 percent, runs closed loop on 40 gallons of water a year, uses submerged cooling so it makes no noise, and routes its waste heat to farms. And he sends unsolicited letters of intent to listed properties and for-sale-by-owners on behalf of his clients' buy boxes. Direct mail hits at 1.1 percent and costs money. Rob hits at 2.1 percent and spends nothing. His frame for all of it: we are in the NIL era of real estate, where everyone has to earn everyone's business. Nobody is owed a repeat client. Rob also gives one percent of Winner Realty's net profits to Hand in Hand, which builds houses in Belize for about ten thousand dollars each. His stated legacy goal is one house every month, forever.

There are four types of financial buyers who might make an offer on your business, and more often than any other type, the one approaching you is an independent sponsor. It is an unhelpful label for a group that raises the money for a deal only after the seller has signed an LOI, which is also when the seller's leverage is at its lowest. Travis Jamison runs Capital Pad, where investors fund independent sponsor deals. He sees dozens of them for every one he approves. Independent sponsors are now behind roughly 28% of lower middle market acquisitions, which is more than traditional private equity does.

Derek Liu, M&A Partner at Baker McKenzie AI talent deals are no longer small acquihires built around a simple price per engineer. Some now carry billion-dollar price tags, forcing buyers to rethink deal structure, diligence, tax exposure, and retention. Baker McKenzie's M&A Partner Derek Liu has personally signed over $110 billion in transactions from both sides of the table. That mismatch, old tools built for a different kind of deal, is what's forcing corp dev and legal teams to rework their playbook, and it's the throughline of this conversation.

Dave McMillan joins the lads this week to discuss his new status as the second top goalscorer in LOI in Europe history and his memories of the run a decade ago that really put his Dundalk side on the map. We discuss how some members of that group are getting on today with Stephen Kenny and Daryl Horgan still prominent members of the news cycle. Aside from that there's a busy mailbag with anonymous Athlone, signing shy Saints and a forgettable Finn Harps year. Add in Darren Purse's arrival, an unexpected Frank Spencer tangent and a side of Mayo and we've got another show with the help of of our friends at Chido, Planify, Future Ticketing & Collar and Cuff.

Deals don't usually fall apart because people can't agree on the price. They stall during discussions about what happens after closing if a representation turns out to be wrong. That's why we're seeing representations and warranties insurance (RWI) show up in more conversations with buyers, sellers, private equity firms, and transaction attorneys, and why it's becoming a practical tool for reducing post-closing uncertainty in mergers and acquisitions.We're joined by CRC Chicago specialists Josh Arnold and Rommel Mayuga to explain what RWI actually does, what it can cover, and why buyer-side placement has become so common. We also talk about the real deal mechanics: indemnity caps, survival periods, escrow pressure, and why a clean recovery source can remove friction when the parties are stuck.As M&A activity rebounds in 2026, the RWI market is evolving as well. More carriers are willing to consider smaller and middle-market transactions, and underwriting has become more efficient, but diligence still drives the outcome. We share a practical example from the private equity world where consistent carrier relationships and early alignment helped speed indications and support a multi-acquisition strategy. If you're a retail agent, our biggest guidance is simple: loop us in at the LOI or draft purchase agreement stage so we can help assess fit, anticipate diligence needs, and keep timelines from getting squeezed at the finish line.

C dans l'air du 21 juillet 2026 - Loi agricole : les députés se déchirent, l'écologie sacrifiée ? Une décision qui fait polémique. La nouvelle loi sur les pesticides a été adoptée dans la nuit à l'Assemblée nationale. Le texte modifie plusieurs dispositions de la précédente proposition de loi dite « Duplomb » et prévoit notamment la réintroduction encadrée de certains produits phytosanitaires comme l'acétamipride et le flupyradifurone. Ce vote suscite de vives réactions politiques. Monique Barbut, ministre de la Transition écologique, en désaccord avec le projet de loi d'urgence agricole adopté, a été reçue à Matignon pour évoquer sa démission. L'ancienne ministre, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, dénonce un passage en force, tandis que La France insoumise qualifie le texte de « loi poison », estimant qu'il constitue un recul en matière de protection de la santé et de l'environnement. Le débat renvoie aussi aux conséquences sanitaires de l'exposition aux pesticides. Laure, une mère fleuriste, raconte avoir perdu sa fille Emmy avant l'âge de 12 ans d'une leucémie qu'elle attribue à une exposition aux pesticides pendant sa grossesse. Après plusieurs années de procédure, la justice a reconnu le lien entre cette exposition professionnelle et la maladie de son enfant. Mais cette mère de famille continue le combat entrepris pour sa fille contre l'absence de réglementation concernant la présence de pesticides dans les fleurs. Après cette décision politique, la patronne des Écologistes Marine Tondelier a appelé Annie Genevard, ministre de l'Agriculture, à démissionner. Elle l'accuse de « mettre en danger la vie des Français ». Cette séquence illustre les difficultés de l'écologie politique à transformer les préoccupations environnementales en dynamique électorale durable. Pourquoi cette loi sur les pesticides divise-t-elle tant ? Quels peuvent être les effets des pesticides sur la santé ?

A letter of intent should confirm what you and the seller have already discussed. It should not introduce unexpected terms that cause the seller to question your judgment or trustworthiness. In this episode, I explain why significant provisions, including purchase price, seller financing, exclusivity, continued involvement, and breakup fees, should be discussed before the LOI is delivered. I also explain why every LOI should be accompanied by a strong cover letter that shows the seller you understand their objectives and why you and your team are the right buyers for the business. To Your Success, Bruce https://brucewhipple.com/
Jeremy Segal, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS) Buyers who mistake a high LOI bid for a winning strategy are easy prey for sellers who know the growth equity playbook. Jeremy Segal's position: precision at the LOI stage is a stronger differentiator than price. Jeremy Segal is EVP of Corporate Development at Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS), a publicly traded software company that has nearly doubled revenue through M&A, from under $400 million to nearly $1 billion. He has closed roughly 50 acquisitions across his career at Progress, LogMeIn, and Akamai. How do you build a cost-optimization model before LOI for lines you know you can execute? How do you win a competitive process against PE without the highest headline number? When a seller restricts access during the announce-to-close window, how do you decide whether to escalate or walk? And how do you handle a workforce that expected an IPO and got an acquisition instead? Jeremy answers each one. What You'll Learn Building a pre-LOI cost optimization model on what you can actually execute How to use existing infrastructure to outbid PE on price Escalating diligence friction before it kills a deal Why a no-retrade commitment builds trust with sellers Structuring retention pools when a target's IPO falls through What target profile actually fits a disciplined buyer Why private valuations haven't caught up to public markets If you're building deal models before LOI and want a framework for translating those assumptions into an operational plan you can actually execute, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, has Buyer-Led M&A™ frameworks to help you close the gap between what you modeled and what you deliver. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom.

Haseeb Jawad, VP and Head of Corporate Development, Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT) The people who leave post-close are usually the ones the deal depended on. Which means the problem starts with how you read culture before LOI and whether financial incentives are the only retention tool you are building with. Haseeb Jawad heads corporate development at Commvault, running a lean team with full accountability from sourcing through integration. He has led two to three acquisitions per year across multiple companies, sat on both sides of a transaction, and serves as his own IMO lead. The signals that tell you a deal will lose people are visible from the first founder conversation, if you know what to look for. What You'll Learn The three signals to read in every founder conversation before LOI How the TRUST framework applies across the full deal lifecycle Why retention runs heart, brain, pocket and what breaks when you invert it How to run employee-by-employee diligence without treating people as a cost line Why owning both deal and integration makes business case assumptions honest What one payroll timing issue did to months of trust-building after close If you're managing a post-close retention risk and financial incentives are the only lever you're pulling, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, has Buyer-Led M&A™ frameworks to help you build the full retention model. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom.

Bill Powers and co-host Brian Leni sit down for their monthly Junior Mining Insights chat, recorded amid a sharp pullback in gold (down to ~$4,000 from a ~$5,500 high) and broad weakness across junior mining stocks. Topics covered: • Handling portfolio drawdowns — Bill shares being down 43% on a recent junior mining buy, and the two discuss how pre-assessing downside/upside risk (and tranche buying) helps investors stay rational during volatility • Bear-market psychology — why uncertain, quiet markets (especially summer) can be the best time to pick off quality companies with less competition • Rick Rule's "market as a facility" philosophy and how price action, while not predictive, still reflects real-time sentiment • Building and using a watch list — assigning value targets ahead of time so sell-offs can be acted on with discipline rather than panic • Discerning a real capitulation bottom — separating share-price drops tied to company-specific issues (management departures, forced sellers) from broader macro noise • Red flags from management meetings — Bill recounts recent CEO conversations from the Mining Event of the North (Quebec City) and Zoom calls, including executives running multiple companies and weak articulation of "undervaluation" • CEO archetypes — technical vs. promotional leadership, and why a mix of credibility and communication skill matters most at the sub-$50M market cap level • Direct Ship Ore (DSO) as a sector trend — both hosts express skepticism about companies leaning on DSO/bulk-sampling narratives without offtake agreements, permitting groundwork, or community buy-in; Bill outlines his go-to due diligence questions (offtake LOI status, trucking/permitting feasibility) • Canada's new semi-annual reporting pilot for smaller junior miners and mixed views on reduced disclosure requirements • Listener feedback segment — a note about industry jargon (e.g., "geos") prompts a discussion on why learning sector terminology is part of the investing process 0:00 Market Volatility Reality Check 1:36 Tranche Buying in Uncertainty 3:39 Reading Price Versus Narrative 7:17 Watchlists and Patience 9:30 Timing the Next Bull Run 12:13 Spotting Capitulation Bottoms 16:53 CEO Credibility and Financing Plans 23:17 Technical Versus Promotional CEOs 28:51 Bear Market Strategy and Niche Metals 32:38 Trading Not Investing 33:57 Marketing Premium Setup 34:30 Semiannual Reporting Debate 37:46 CFO Role Questions 38:41 Conference Takeaways 39:44 Direct Ship Ore Trend 42:09 DSO Hype Warning 44:49 DSO Due Diligence 51:30 Bigger Beats Faster 54:33 Learning The Jargon Brian's website: https://www.juniorstockreview.com/ Brian's YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FIELD_NOTES Bill's Twitter: https://x.com/MiningStockEdu Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Bill and Brian are not licensed financial advisors.
