Ep31 Chintan Sutaria - Ingredients for a Successful Acquisition

Today on the show, Strategy + Action = Ingredients for a Successful Acquisition I am excited to bring this episode to you.  I know I say that a lot, but I truly am.  We've got Chintan Sutaria on the show today and his company, CalcuQuote is this incredible software company specialized in the space for contract manufacturers.   I've been fortunate to know Chintan for several years now back from my Dallas startup days, and I've been so impressed with him.  Not only starting this company in this great little niche area that he had very specialized knowledge in ... but also in the way that he has incrementally grown over the years.   Expanding carefully, making sure that he has a solid, amazing product.  Then a solid, amazing company.  When we caught up a few weeks ago, he talked about the acquisition of his company that's happened in the last couple of years.  And there were so many insights that I thought would be useful for you and wanted to have him on the show for that reason among many others, including growing his business.  But a lot of these insights apply even if you're not going to sell your company.  There's a valuable way to approach that process and even contemplating whether or not you want to could benefit your company by thinking about it in ways that maybe you never have before.   And of course, we get into where he's taking the company next.
