Startup Exit Guide: Finding the Right Buyer
This article is a comprehensive guide for startup founders on preparing for and executing a successful exit through acquisition.

The process typically takes about a year, involving preparation, longlists, due diligence, and negotiation. The article highlights the importance of creating competitive tension among buyers and warns about post-closing obligations like earn-outs and retention periods that can significantly affect the final payout, with insights from Thomas Meneder and data from SRS Acquiom's M&A Deal Terms Study.
Any Acquires AI Startup HiDesk for Agentic Booking
Cologne-based booking platform anny has acquired HiDesk, a Cologne-based AI startup specializing in agentic omni-channel customer communication. The acquisition comes less than a year after HiDesk's founding. The entire HiDesk team, including founders Florestan Peters and Jeremy Meidinger, will join anny and remain operational. The companies are combining HiDesk's AI assistant, which handles calls and messages autonomously, with anny's booking system to create a new category they call 'Agentic Booking Management'. This approach aims to have AI not only answer customer requests but also execute related processes, such as checking availability, pricing, and completing bookings. Both companies claim to be profitable and self-funded. The merged entity plans to run key AI components on its own infrastructure in Europe and has already trained small proprietary models for voice dialogues.
