Using M&A as an Early Stage Startup Strategy with Xiao Wang
Most startups wait for M&A. Xiao Wang didn’t.
As the founder of Boundless Immigration, Xiao used acquisitions as early as Series A to unlock product-market fit, absorb top talent, and accelerate growth — all without compromising his company’s mission.
In this invite-only founder event, Xiao will share:
What makes a startup “acquirable” (and how to spot one)
How to convince another founder to sell you their baby
What makes a deal worth doing — and how to integrate without chaos
