I even found myself in a heated debate with another attendee about the ethics of data collection.
While the conference was interesting, it was time to achieve what I had been looking forward to.
I caught sight of the target who had what I wanted.
The company I was looking to acquire was a fledgling payment platform with great potential.
I had done my research and knew that this acquisition could be a game-changer for my company.
I walked toward the CEO of the company, accompanied by my trusted lawyers, ready to negotiate a business deal.
The CEO of the payment platform company was a young man with a sharp gaze.
He gestured towards a nearby table where we could sit.
As we sat down at the table, I felt a sense of anticipation.
I knew that the negotiations could go either way, but I was confident in my team's ability to get the best deal for our company.
He introduced himself, and we exchanged pleasantries before diving into the details of the acquisition.
"Mr. Cortini, it's a pleasure to meet you," the CEO said, extending his hand.
"I've been looking forward to this meeting."
"Likewise, Mr. Stefan," I replied, taking his hand and shaking it firmly.
"Your company has been on our radar for some time now. We're impressed with what you've been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time."
The CEO smiled, his eyes brightening.
"Thank you, sir. We're proud of what we've built here. But we know that to truly make an impact, we need to partner with someone who has the experience and resources to take us to the next level."
"I agree," I said, taking a seat across from him.
"And that's where we come in. We have the expertise and the infrastructure to help you realize your vision. We're interested in acquiring your company."
The CEO leaned back in his chair, considering my offer.
"We've had other suitors," he said, "but we believe that your company is the right fit for us. The culture, the vision, it all aligns with what we want to achieve."
"That's great to hear," I said, smiling.
"So let's talk numbers. What are you looking for in terms of a valuation?"
My lawyers were quick to jump in, outlining our terms and conditions for the deal.
We spent the next hour negotiating, going back and forth on the terms.
My lawyers were by my side, ready to answer any questions and provide guidance.
But ultimately, it was my gut feeling that led the way.
This was a company that I believed in, and I was willing to pay a premium to make it a part of our portfolio.
The negotiations were intense, with both sides pushing for the best possible deal.
But I remained calm and focused, knowing that every decision we made would have a significant impact on the future of our company.
