TechCrunch: M&A

APRIL 20, 2023

Every so often, a new startup crosses your radar and reminds you how exciting hardware can be. It’s a relative rarity in consumer electronics, a category dominated by corporations like Samsung, Apple and Sony, which are (perhaps understandably) somewhat risk averse. Melbourne-based Nura was one such company. I distinctly remember the startup paying a visit to TechCrunch’s New York offices not long after I started here.

The old adage was: When you lose a job, you tell everyone. You share that you are back in the market with everyone that you know in all industries. As the expression goes with traditional networking, “You are only one step away from someone who can introduce you to the right someone that can get you a new position.” I personally believe going this route hurts your opportunity to get a better position.

Not only because they serve as the foundation for building trust and credibility with clients, but also because they are key responsibilities that come with the role.

Bootstrapping the capital necessary to grow is difficult and time consuming and most entrepreneurs would rather get to the business of their business versus raising or thinking about money.
