    E78: The Acquisition Gap: Turning Operators Into Acquirers

    There are tens of thousands of agencies and SaaS companies ripe for acquisition, or ready to become acquirers. The biggest problem for founders and CEOs isn't desire. It's knowing where to start, and where to find the money to do it. Recorded live in Miami, Christian and Ayelet step away from the weekly deal coverage to tackle the question they hear constantly: I want to buy or sell through M&A, but how do I actually begin? The conversation centers on DealCon, the M&A conference they just attended, which Ayelet discloses upfront was founded by her father, Tom Shipley. What started as a 20-person intensive in an Austin office three and a half years ago is now a 160-person, personally vetted community of active buyers and sellers. This one is essential listening for any founder or CEO who's stuck, whether you run a $1-5M EBITDA agency or a $3-5M ARR SaaS company that's plateaued, and you're wondering if there's an alternative path to growth. There is. It's called inorganic growth, and most founders don't even know it's an option. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction  2:20 The Genesis and Purpose of DealCon 6:53 Target Audience and Business Requirements 12:32 Conference Demographics and Attendee Types 16:59 Real-World Success Stories and Examples 19:31 Practical Conference Content and Capital Access 22:43 Integration Focus and Post-Acquisition Strategy 25:06 Advisory Board Program and Advanced Support 27:37 Legal and Market Expertise Challenges 30:15 Ideal and Non-Ideal Conference Attendees 34:19 Quality Control and Conference Logistics 37:00 Conference Details and Closing Information Whether or not DealCon is right for you, the goal of this episode is simple: to show that ground-level, human, one-to-one guidance on starting your M&A journey exists. This is one option among several, and Christian and Ayelet walk through exactly what makes it work. The next DealCon is October 19-21 in Austin.

    E77: Inside the Billion Dollar Salsify Deal: Where Was SAP?

    Salsify is being acquired by European private equity firm Sinven in an all-cash deal reportedly worth around $1 billion, marking one of the biggest commerce software exits of the year. Christian and Ayelet break down why the deal matters far beyond the headline, from the return of private equity to commerce enablement to what this means for the next wave of M&A. They explore the strategic value of Salsify, why SAP missed a major opportunity, how community became one of the company's greatest assets, and why this acquisition could ignite consolidation across the commerce technology landscape. Plus, quick takes on Tracksuit's AI acquisition and Neon's $13M funding round to challenge the app store model. What we cover: Salsify's reported $1B acquisition by Sinven, why European private equity is entering commerce software, the company's journey from startup to category leader, why SAP passed on a strategic acquisition, how community became a competitive moat, post-merger integration risks, what the deal signals for commerce M&A, and two additional deals involving Tracksuit and Neon. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:24 — Big week for In Organic, Marketecture partnership & birthday wishes 1:12 — In Organic officially joins the Marketecture Media Network 2:01 — Introducing Sifted Pro as the show's first sponsor 2:39 — Headline: Salsify acquired by Sinven in a ~$1B deal 3:19 — What Salsify does and why it matters in commerce 4:18 — Deal value, valuation haircut & employee equity implications 5:28 — Christian's personal connection to Salsify's founding story 7:06 — The culture that built Salsify's success 8:32 — Why the Digital Shelf Institute community is a strategic asset 9:53 — Operator's read: Why Sinven is a major new commerce investor 12:36 — Was the acquisition price actually a success? 14:28 — Why SAP should have bought Salsify 18:30 — Post-merger integration risks and employee retention 21:36 — Deal architect's view: Partnership vs. takeover 22:21 — The value and risk of community in acquisitions 24:41 — What this deal means for future commerce M&A 25:25 — Deal hit: Tracksuit acquires Hall for AI brand visibility 26:14 — Deal hit: Neon raises $13M to challenge app store fees 26:46 — Preview of next week's M&A sentiment report 🎙️ Now part of the Marketecture Media Network | In/organic is Sponsored by Sifted Pro (check them out at sifted.eu) 🔔 Subscribe for weekly M&A coverage on In/Organic Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet's LinkedIn:   / ayelet-shipley-b16330149   Christian's LinkedIn:   / hassold   Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co

    E76: We Got the Criteo Deal Wrong: Here's the $2.9B Deal I'd Actually Do

    Last week Christian called Vista's rumored bid for Criteo "cheap" and left it at a throwaway line: three to four times.. what? A few people texted him afterward and said he could have done better; he agreed. So this week, solo from an undisclosed location while Ayelet celebrates her 30th in LA, Christian goes deep. A full side-by-side of Criteo and LiveRamp, a walkthrough of why the multiple gap between them makes almost no sense on the financials, and a concrete bull case: pay $58 a share, a 200%+ premium, then run an M&A play to build the agentic commerce OS for brands and retail. The thesis isn't buy it cheap. It's buy it decisively. What we cover: Who actually leaked the Vista story (and why Criteo's repeated phantom-deal leaks are a comms problem), the Criteo vs. LiveRamp side-by-side on revenue growth, revenue mix, EBITDA, and free cash flow, why LiveRamp's 107% net retention is at real risk once Publicis owns it, why Criteo's transactional model might be the safer bet in an agentic era where subscription pricing is under fire, the AI option value nobody's pricing in, and three specific M&A targets that would fix Criteo's biggest gap: no Amazon, no Walmart. Plus two deals worth flagging: Podean's fifth acquisition (Social Commerce Club) and Brunner buying AdSkate. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:26 — Solo episode, life changes, and happy 30th to Ayelet 0:50 — Why we're revisiting Criteo/Vista: "you really could have done better" 1:30 — The backstory: Bloomberg, Reuters, and a 50% premium at ~$3.7B implied 2:00 — Who leaked it? Why back channels point at Criteo, not Vista 2:30 — Criteo's leak engine: Microsoft, Walmart, Skai — deals that never materialized 3:00 — The headline thesis: pay 2.5x revenue ex-TAC, then run an M&A play 4:00 — Side-by-side setup: Criteo vs. LiveRamp 4:30 — Revenue growth: LiveRamp at 9%, Criteo at 1% (and why that's misleading) 5:15 — Growth quality: the Roundel and Uber Eats churn, and 16% underlying retail media growth 5:45 — Why LiveRamp's 107% net retention is at risk under Publicis ownership 6:30 — Revenue type: true SaaS vs. transactional media economics 7:00 — Why subscription models are under fire in the agentic era 7:45 — EBITDA: Criteo at $407M vs. LiveRamp at $185M, at a quarter of the multiple 8:30 — Free cash flow: both are cash compounders with clean balance sheets 9:15 — Strategic buyers pay up, financial buyers don't — but Vista usually pays 10-20x 9:45 — The AI option value nobody's pricing: OpenAI's ChatGPT ads pilot, 2x AI-referred conversions 10:30 — The real asset: 4,100 brands, 225 retail media networks, $1B in quarterly activated spend 11:15 — The bull case: $58/share, $2.9B equity value, a 203% premium 12:00 — Why no board can responsibly ignore an offer like this 12:30 — M&A target #1: Skai — solves Amazon and Walmart, and they already know each other 13:30 — M&A target #2: Pacvue (Advent) — Amazon, Walmart, Instacart muscle (and the Helium 10 problem) 14:15 — Why The Trade Desk's April integrations create urgency 14:45 — M&A target #3: digital shelf analytics — and the Profitero/Publicis precedent 16:00 — The Christian math, summarized 17:00 — Deal hit: Podean acquires Social Commerce Club (deal #5) 17:45 — Deal hit: Brunner acquires AdScape — creative intelligence as an AI play 18:30 — Why more deals are moving to our Substack, and what's coming next 🔔 Subscribe for weekly M&A coverage on In/Organic Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.

    E75: Vista Wants Criteo Private: A POV on PE's AdTech Land Grab

    Private equity just bid to take Criteo private at a 50%+ premium and two of the sharpest voices in commerce & media read the exact same filings and reached opposite conclusions. Ayelet Shipley and Christian Hassold break down Vista Equity Partners' (with hedge fund Quinti Capital) proposed take-private of Criteo (Nasdaq: CRTO): the "melting ice cube" bear case vs. Ken Kubec's "Footnote Trade" bull case (reported retail-media revenue down 32% vs. ~24% underlying growth once you strip out an accounting change and two client roll-offs), why a business throwing off ~$400M in profit was trading around 2x EBITDA, the Luxembourg "re-domicile escape hatch," and whether Vista's playbook gives Criteo product oxygen or runs off its 900 engineers. Plus the market update on AI marketing-tech venture rounds (geoSurge, Vendelux), and two quick deal hits with very different structures: Descartes x Drivin and Banzai x ConnectAndSell. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 — Intro: Market & Deals Friday 00:49 — Market Update: VC keeps funding AI marketing tech (geoSurge, Vendelux) 03:06 — Feature: Vista + Quinti bid to take Criteo private — the facts 05:55 — The Operator's Read (Christian): toll road, or mispriced commerce-media asset? 11:32 — The Deal Architect's Read (Ayelet): incentives & the Luxembourg escape hatch 15:50 — Quick Hits: Descartes/Drivin & Banzai/ConnectAndSell 19:40 — Wrap Reads referenced: Chris Sheldon: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chris-j-sheldon_criteos-retail-media-growth-fell-from-23-share-7480304433730441216-MyKw Ken Kubec: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kenkubec_privateequity-adtech-retailmedia-ugcPost-7480605776760307713-dbqi 🔔 Subscribe for Market & Deals Friday — the strategic read on lower-middle-market M&A in commerce & media.

    E74: Walmart x Vibe.co: A Direct Shot at Amazon and The Trade Desk, SPS Exits 3P, plus 8 Deals

    Walmart just bought its way into the connected TV arms race, and The Trade Desk is the biggest loser. In a ~$1.4B deal announced during Cannes Lions week, Walmart Connect is acquiring Vibe.co, the self-serve CTV/streaming ad platform, to close a 10x gap with Amazon's ad business. Christian and Ayelet break down the deal from two distinct angles, the operator's read and the deal architect's read, plus a venture market update, hot tea on SPS Commerce quietly selling a business back to its founder, and eight rapid-fire quick hits in what's officially become the summer of add-ons. One venture update. One deep dive, two POVs. Hot tea. Eight quick hits. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:38 — Happy Fourth of July, and what's on the agenda 2:19 — Market update: JustAI raises $17M Series A (Base10, Y Combinator, Peak XV) 3:00 — Concord raises $3M seed for agentic media buying, and why Vibe.co's CEO is an investor 4:34 — "The Summer of Add-ons": why fragmentation is fueling M&A 4:44 — The deal: Walmart Connect acquires Vibe.co, the "Google Ads of streaming" 6:25 — The numbers: ~$100M revenue, ~$1.4B deal, 10-14x revenue (and why it's not an AI deal) 8:00 — Walmart's M&A cadence and the Vizio precedent 8:54 — The 10x ad-revenue gap: Amazon at $82B vs. Walmart at $8.2B 9:30 — The advisors and why this was a CEO-to-CEO deal 9:50 — The operator's read: a capability tuck-in that buys 3-4 years 10:00 — Is the CTV TAM actually big enough?

    E73: "They Sold the Engine and Kept the Garage" Chris Erwin on the Accenture/Whalar Deal

    Accenture Song's planned acquisition of the Whalar agency was called the largest creator economy transaction ever. The structure underneath that headline is far more interesting than the number. In this special edition, Christian and Ayelet sit down with Chris Erwin of RockWater, one of the sharpest analysts in the creator economy, to go deep on what Accenture actually bought, what the founders kept, and why the deal structure tells the real story. Chris published a standout newsletter on this deal, and we brought him on to share his expert POV: the carve-out logic, the multi-year partnership nobody has details on, the "largest deal ever" math, and what Accenture Song buys next. What we cover: Why Neil Waller and James Street sold the agency but kept the broader creator-facing portfolio (Sixteenth, Foam, Moby Ventures, The Lighthouse, Umi Games), what the undisclosed multi-year partnership likely includes — global infrastructure, technology, enterprise client access, and balance-sheet capital, how the "$500M+ largest creator deal ever" claim squares with a $225-300M outside EV estimate, why the answer is probably a meaningful upfront payment plus a multi-year earnout, how Accenture's Droga5 precedent and stated M&A policy help reverse-engineer the structure, why the real value driver is media spend, measurement, and the performance data that unlocks $100B+ media budgets, the "do no harm" PMI era and why a prior 12-month working relationship de-risked the deal, and who Accenture Song buys next — plus why there's a genuine shortage of scaled independent creator agencies left to acquire. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Show note: why this special edition replaces Market and Deals Friday 1:09 — Welcome and guest intro: Chris Erwin of RockWater 1:38 — The backstory: Accenture Song's June 8th carve-out of the Whalar agency 3:08 — "They sold the engine and kept the garage" — what that actually means 4:17 — Speculating on the undisclosed multi-year partnership 5:44 — Why life changes fast when you co-sell through Accenture's SOW machine 6:37 — Predicting how the integration goes (and why a prior relationship matters) 7:37 — The "do no harm" PMI era for people-heavy agency businesses 8:01 — Is this really the largest creator economy transaction ever? 8:49 — Reverse-engineering the structure: Accenture's M&A policy and the Droga5 precedent 10:36 — Earnout norms: 3-5 years on larger deals, 2-3 on sub-$100M EV 11:30 — Christian's thesis: Accenture is buying creator media dollars 12:04 — The big-picture framing: consultancies pushing into marketing services 14:05 — Why the materiality of the number unlocks everything Accenture can sell alongside it 14:53 — What Accenture Song buys next — bolt-on capabilities across the creator stack 16:56 — The real problem: a shortage of scaled independent creator agencies 18:01 — The creator commerce wave and where the next big deals get built 🎙️ Guest: Chris Erwin, Founder, RockWater https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrnov/ https://wearerockwater.com/accenture-song-buys-whalar/ 🔔 Subscribe for weekly M&A coverage on In/Organic Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.

    S3: The Boutique SI Eating Accenture's Lunch in PXM Services

    Steve Engelbrecht started Sitation from a rental apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts — five weeks after being laid off in the chaos that followed 9/11. Today it's a 62-person commerce enablement firm with a client roster of household names and a defensible niche the big SIs can't easily replicate. Recorded live at Salsify's Digital Shelf Summit in Atlanta, Christian sat down with Steve — founder and CEO of Sitation — for a conversation about building a services-plus-software business in commerce, how AI is rewriting the buy-vs-build equation, and why a 62-person specialist can out-maneuver Deloitte Digital and Accenture Song in product data. What we cover: The Sitation origin story and the early bet on PIM before it was a category, the three pillars of the business today (systems integration, managed services, and proprietary software), why the software-services convergence is playing out in real time, the "headless PIM in 2026" conversation with Salsify's CEO and what AI agents, MCP, and CLIs mean for the future of product data, how AI lowered the bar for participation and changed buy-vs-build, the Philips case study — a 111% conversion lift on a single SKU by optimizing content, not price, why 90%+ of Sitation's team came from industry and how that makes them stickier than the big SIs, and how Steve thinks about Sitation's future: international expansion as a platform vs. fitting neatly into a larger strategic's plans. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:26 — Welcome from Salsify's Digital Shelf Summit in Atlanta 1:00 — The origin story: first day of work September 10, 2001, laid off five weeks later 2:11 — Early to commerce enablement — and Boston as a commerce software hotbed 3:02 — What Sitation does today: the three business segments 5:25 — The 2019 "pick a lane" problem and why software-services convergence vindicated the strategy 6:16 — How AI is changing the buy-vs-build equation 7:36 — The "headless PIM in 2026" conversation with Salsify's CEO 8:33 — Salesforce going headless and the new customization opportunity for SIs 10:00 — APIs, the MCP revolution, CLIs, and why schema matters for AI agents 11:05 — How a 62-person firm out-maneuvers multi-thousand-person SIs 11:42 — Why this is a massive market, not a zero-sum game 12:30 — The Philips case study: 111% conversion lift on one SKU without touching price 13:30 — Why multinationals choose a boutique over Deloitte Digital or Accenture Song 15:46 — The strategic question: platform play or acquisition target? 16:29 — International expansion as the organic (or capital-backed) growth path 17:40 — Why Sitation's platform credentials make it an attractive, hard-to-replicate target 18:45 — Why you can't build Sitation's early-mover position — you have to buy it 🎙️ Guest: Steve Engelbrecht, Founder & CEO, Sitation | Recorded at Salsify Digital Shelf Summit, Atlanta https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenengelbrecht/ 🔔 Subscribe for weekly M&A coverage on In/Organic Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.
