My guest today is Ryan Klinefelter.
Ryan is one of those veterans of the industry with so much to share and a pleasure to catch up with.
We had a wide ranging discussion covering topics such as:
- How he ended up in Corp Dev and spent 12 years in it after windy road.
- How to think about the AdTech industry, incl. size, dynamics and why it shifts between bundling and unbundling
- How Ryan sources companies.
- Why the people is the most important thing in every deal and how Ryan goes about retention strategy (and why P&L based earnouts can hinder integration!).
We also dive into some real case studies where Ryan walks us through what set them up for success.
Please enjoy!
