Evolve Inflationary Outlook: Everything is Going to be Okay

Current financial reporting is rife with stories of economic volatility and ‘the sky is falling’ predictions. However, much of the analysis being presented is superficial, exaggerated or misguided. The truth can be difficult to decipher, especially if you are considering a high impact M&A or a capital raise transaction.

Evolve Capital has taken a deep dive into the quantitative and qualitative indicators actually present in today’s markets. And our findings point to an economy that is well within normal inflationary measures and is showing clear signs of recovery from the past two years of pandemic upheaval.

Put simply, everything is going to be okay. We expect to see deal volumes and deal diligence return to normal levels following the pandemic-induced spike in 2021 and the first half of 2022.

The Equity Question: Using Company Equity to Attract and Retain Talent

When a company is negotiating a sale or capital raise, one of the important questions that surface is whether it makes sense to put an employee equity plan in place (“The Equity Question”). This is especially pertinent for entrepreneurs that desire to attract and retain talent to grow their business. For those considering an M&A or financing deal, an equity plan is an effective signal to buyers and investors that they are focused on long-term business growth and will help to optimize the company’s valuation.

Deal-Making Outlook for 2021: To Proceed or Not to Proceed

While the market presents an opportune time for M&A transactions and growth equity deals, companies will need to consider whether their financials are in a good position to make the most of the opportunity. Companies with strong or stable revenues are in a favorable position to execute a deal, especially if annual revenue is up from 2019. However, companies will also need to consider several factors, especially potential industry-specific headwinds in the coming year. In this research note, we suggest perspectives for companies to think about when considering deals.

How Fundraising Experience can be Useful for Startup Founders to Prepare for Future M&A Deals

As companies enter the growth stage of the startup cycle, founders must start to consider a new aspect of business: M&A deals. These deals could take the form of a strategic company acquisition to expand product offerings or gain market share (buy-side), or getting acquired by a larger company (sell-side). Although there are differences between financing and M&A processes, founders may want to consider building up fundraising experiences to better prepare for future acquisitions, be it from a VC or PE fund. This will help founders understand how to engage and negotiate with buyers to generate long-term benefits for the company, while tapping into the expertise, networks, and capital of existing financial backers to maximize deal outcome.

The SPAC Phenomenon and Why it is Here to Stay

With over $50 billion raised by SPACs so far this year, companies that plan to go public have a new option they can take. A significant share of the proceeds will likely go towards tech/FinTech companies. Despite growing concerns that SPACs may be a fad, this phenomenon can be favorable to all the relevant stakeholders including SPAC founders, target company and retail investors. In the short-term, more SPACs will emerge to take advantage of the trend, with some turning out to be bad apples. However, over the long-term we can expect SPACs to undergo natural selection, as visionary SPAC founders with less egregious allocations are preferred and thus can raise larger SPAC deals eventually.
