Lucas and Luna dissect software acquisitions, strategic buyouts, and the mechanics of tech dealmaking. Each episode examines a single transaction—from major cloud platform purchases to niche vertical software consolidations—breaking down the valuation multiples, the strategic rationale, and the regulatory headwinds. They analyze the balance sheets of acquirers like Salesforce, Adobe, and Microsoft, and the exit strategies for founders backed by private equity. Lucas brings the deal math and antitrust context; Luna pushes on integration risks and cultural fit. Together, they track how software M&A shapes market structure, from enterprise SaaS to open-source monetization. For the investor, operator, or advisor who wants to understand exactly why a company was bought, at what price, and what it signals for the sector. What does the latest acquisition tell us about where the industry is heading—and the one deal that derailed the acquirer's strategy?#SoftwareAcquisitions #TechMergers #MASt

How Tech Buyers Price Talent Flight Risk in Software Deals
Sep 22, 20268 minS4
We examine why software acquirers now demand 'key person retention' clauses that tie deal value directly to employee flight risk. Using Snorkel AI’s recent $3.5 billion valuation jump as a case study, we break down how strategic buyers price the volatility of core engineering teams. We explore the mechanics of holdbacks, escrow accounts for talent, and why buyer due diligence now spends more time interviewing junior developers than reviewing code repositories. #TechMergersAndAcquisitions #SoftwareValuation #TalentRetention #SnorkelAI #KeyPersonRisk #DueDiligence #StartupAcquisitions #EngineeringCulture #HoldbackAgreements #EscrowAccounts #StrategicBuyers #TechLeadership #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #VentureCapital #CorporateStrategy #EmployeeChurn #DealStructuring Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Tech Buyers Are Pricing Developer Retention in Software Deals
Sep 21, 202611 minS4
In this episode of Tech M&A with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a shifting metric in software acquisitions: developer retention. While past deals focused on API stability or idle compute, today’s strategic buyers are pricing the risk of talent flight post-close. We examine how large tech firms structure earn-outs to keep critical engineers from leaving after an acquisition, using real-world examples from the current market environment as of September twenty-first, two thousand twenty-six. #TechMA #SoftwareAcquisitions #DeveloperRetention #TalentFlight #MergersAndAcquisitions #TechBuyers #EarnOuts #StartupValuation #EngineeringCulture #BusinessTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechDeals #HumanCapital #AcquisitionStrategy #TechLeadership #VentureCapital #SiliconValley Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of Tech M&A with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore why enterprise software acquirers are shifting focus from pure code quality to data integrity. With Salesforce down 8.1 percent over the past week and Adobe slipping 6.3 percent, buyers are realizing that clean, structured customer data is a more durable asset than flashy APIs. They discuss how poor data hygiene inflates integration costs and drags down post-merger retention, using specific examples of failed integrations to illustrate the hidden tax on deal valuation. #TechMA #DataHygiene #SoftwareAcquisitions #EnterpriseSoftware #Salesforce #Adobe #MergersAndAcquisitions #DueDiligence #DataIntegrity #IntegrationComplexity #CustomerData #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechDeals #Valuation #PostMergerIntegration #SaaS #DataGovernance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Tech Buyers Price Exit Velocity in Software Deals
Sep 19, 202610 minS4
We look at how strategic buyers now value software acquisitions not just for code or customers, but for the speed of integration and exit. With the S&P 500 up slightly and tech stocks like Adobe down over six percent this week, the market is pricing in uncertainty. We explore why a two-year integration timeline is no longer acceptable and how idle compute capacity has become a liability rather than an asset. Using recent market moves and structural shifts in enterprise software, we break down the new metric that determines whether a deal succeeds or stalls. #TechMA #SoftwareAcquisitions #StrategicBuyers #IntegrationSpeed #ExitVelocity #EnterpriseSoftware #MergersAndAcquisitions #TechInvesting #BusinessStrategy #CorporateFinance #ValuationMetrics #TechDeals #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #MarketAnalysis #TechTrends2026 #StartupEcosystem Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Tech Buyers Price Supply Chain Transparency in Software Acquisitions
Sep 18, 20269 minS4
In this episode of Tech M&A with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore why enterprise software acquirers are now pricing in supply chain transparency. With Anthropic’s recent move to embed evaluators from Accenture, we look at how tech giants assess third-party vendor risk before closing deals. We break down the hidden costs of opaque procurement chains and how buyers like Oracle and Salesforce are adjusting their due diligence frameworks to account for geopolitical and compliance risks in the AI era. #TechMA #SoftwareAcquisitions #SupplyChainTransparency #EnterpriseAI #DueDiligence #VendorRisk #Anthropic #Accenture #Oracle #Salesforce #ComplianceRisk #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TechStrategy #MergersAndAcquisitions #SaaSValuation #CorporateGovernance #TechIndustry Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
