What to keep in mind as a Steadfast in deals
Strengths
Startups come and just as quickly go. You’re here to stay, and you’ve had consistent success in the market. That’s reassuring for many smaller organizations you acquire along the way.
Opportunities
You embrace your history and legacy, but you don’t want to be so focused on the past that you’re seen as a dinosaur unable to adapt to the 21st century. Even embracing small changes can pave a smoother path in making deals.
Steadfast dealmaking considerations
Go for it
Your broad purpose means you can succeed in acquiring a variety of companies. Even a company with a narrow approach to purpose can fit in, simply because you have plenty of focus areas and tackle specialized topics with gusto.
Tread lightly
More freewheeling companies with relaxed cultures and a penchant for digital experimentation may feel lost in the shuffle within your bigger, more measured company structure. If you’re hoping to add a digital innovator, make sure they’re able to navigate within your organization.
Dealing with the same identity
When two Steadfasts combine, it’s likely to be big news, as you may both have established legacies. That also means you’re both likely entrenched in your way of doing things and have been for a while, meaning the possibility of evolution or reinvention is less likely.
