Mergers and Acquisitions
Definition
The buying, selling, and combining of companies, often shortened to M&A.
Why it matters
M&A is a common exit route, so understanding it helps you plan for the day someone might want to buy your business.
Example
A larger company acquires a founder app in an M&A deal, giving her and her investors a payout.
