The secret playbook for successful M&A

But here's the nuance: It's not that you can't proactively sell your startup. It's that acquisitions driven by an acquirer's initial interest usually yield better outcomes, given your situation and the state of the market. Our process started with inbound interest from a few companies looking to buy Kraftful for strategic reasons. To ensure the best deal, I also connected directly with CEOs, CTOs, and chief product officers at 25+ companies, leading to serious conversations with more than 10 companies.

George Kurtz on CrowdStrike's $290 million Onum acquisition and cybersecurity M&A

"There are some companies that are obviously richly-valued," Kurtz told Fortune. "I think some of these companies don't realize that they are starting to move into zombieland: You look at their last round valuation, and it might be great for them, but it's expensive and it's necessarily actionable for a lot of companies, even ours." To be sure, there have been a couple of notable big-ticket acquisitions in cyber lately: Palo Alto Networks' $25 billion acquisition of CyberArk and Google's proposed $32 billion acquisition of Wiz.
