      About the Talk

      Join us for a fireside chat between Mia Wang, who leads mergers and acquisitions (M&A) at Cloudflare and previously worked in venture capital (VC), and Jade Wang, who runs the Cloudflare for Startups program and is a recovering startup founder.

      Most startup founders don’t start a company with the intention of ending it in an M&A, but it happens every day to companies large and small. We will discuss how acquiring companies think about talent acquisitions vs. product acquisitions, identifying product synergies, how value is created with M&A, and the goals of M&A teams.

      Armed with these learnings in your back pocket can make the process less overwhelming and opaque in the future, whether you are on the acquiring side or the acquired side.

      • How VCs typically think about M&A
