Thomas has sold hundreds of businesses in his 10 years in M&A and understands what it takes to hit your target valuation – but you have to know where you're headed if you want to draw a roadmap to get there.

  • What founders can do to prepare for an acquisition
  • Goal setting and making the right hires
  • Common distractions to scaling startups
  • How the team at FE International helps businesses find areas of focus
  • How to grow an M&A company and market trends
