MergeDeck Journal
Insights for
serious dealmakers
Deep analysis, case studies, and tactical advice on M&A, business valuations, and deal structuring, written for founders, acquirers, and advisors.
We write about the parts of a deal that rarely make it into a pitch deck: how to price a business realistically, what actually slows down due diligence, how buyers and sellers negotiate around risk, and what changes in regulation mean for NBFCs, startups, and private companies raising or exiting. If you're on either side of a deal, this is written for you.
