Big Tech Acquisitions - How to Grow Through a Pandemic

CORONA Activated Big Tech To Go On A Buying Spree

Unless you’ve killed your TV, cut the cable, or have taken a break entirely from social media and all things internet over the past few months (completely understandable and no criticism from our end if that’s the case), it’s not new news to tell you big tech has been on a rampage of acquisitions since the outbreak of the pandemic.

Startups that never prioritized profitability (or simply didn’t have the chance to get there before the pandemic hit) are flailing, layoffs and pay cuts became the norm in Spring 2020, and the larger companies with access to capital found themselves in a once-in-a-lifetime position to take advantage of a downturn like this a very real growth and expansion opportunity.

We’ve had a ton of early-to-mid-stage startups go up on the BizNexus platform this year as newly available acquisition opportunities, but if you’re interested in a complete list of all of Big Tech’s acquisitions since the Covid-19 outbreak, check out CB Insights 64 page report on the industries & technologies that will shape the post-virus world:
