“The Shifting Landscape of Startup Acquisitions in 2024: What to Expect”
In 2023, the predicted wave of startup acquisitions didn’t materialize as expected, but signs are pointing to a different story for 2024. With funding volume and deal count on the decline, along with potential macroeconomic challenges, the stage seems set for a surge in startup acquisitions. The landscape is changing, with public players and private equity firms taking the lead in acquisitions, but it’s anticipated that next year, distressed companies will be buying distressed companies to address business model gaps. As the market evolves, it’s clear that the M&A landscape in 2024 will be defined by a new set of players and motivations, making it an exciting and pivotal time for startups and investors alike. An example of this trend can be found in Getir, which serves as a sign of what’s to come in the M&A market in 2024.
