Claims. Consequences. Mistakes. Misconduct. Josh Begner (WTW) • English 🇬🇧

English episode: From mistakes to misconduct, we get the data on where M&A transactions go south after closing - and why it hurts so bad for both buyers and sellers.

Insurance, of course, is there to help clean up the mess. But as a founder, how do you prevent those terrible mistakes in the first place?

Taking us into the world of breaches and risk is THE guy who brought M&A insurance to Israel 5 years ago, Josh Begner of WTW, (NASDAQ: WTW).

In our latest episode, we came for the tea on the horror stories…but we were taken aback at how the most devastating risks can come in seemingly bland packages. 

Hosts Sophia Tupolev-Luz and Zeevi Michel chart the tension between the operational reality for founders and their responsibilities to create processes that will protect their companies - and them - come transaction time.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The data on the most common breaches in M&A deals that lead to legal action by acquirers.
  • How foreign investors view Israeli companies in today’s geopolitical landscape.
  • M&A insurance: what it covers, the costs, and who pays.
  • Mistakes vs. misconduct in high-stakes transactions.
  • Key roles within a startup team thinking about their endgame on Day 1.
  • The influence of the risk-taking profile of Israeli founders on their companies’ vulnerability in transactions.
  • M&A’s continued dominance in Israel - and the market conditions affecting IPOs, with data from https://www.ivc-online.com/Insights
