How M&A Now Prices Customer API Dependencies

In this episode of Tech M&A with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a fresh pricing factor in software acquisitions: API dependencies. As the tech stack grows more interconnected, buyers are scrutinizing how much a target company relies on third-party APIs—and what happens if those APIs change or go away. Lucas anchors the discussion with data from ServiceNow (trading near $107) and Salesforce (down 1.4% over five days), both companies whose acquisitions have faced integration risks tied to external APIs. The hosts also touch on how the recent OpenAI household push signals a shift in how platform dependency is valued. If you're an operator or builder, this episode offers a concrete framework for understanding how deal lawyers and due diligence teams now assess API risk in earnouts and valuation. #API #M&A #TechM&A #SoftwareAcquisitions #Earnouts #DueDiligence #ServiceNow #Salesforce #OpenAI #IntegrationRisk #SaaS #Valuation #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechDeals #CustomerDependency Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
