Our M&A experience
Tomasz Puk
Director of Regulatory Consulting and Technology at Star
Star acquires MedTech experts Pro4People
“After 8 years in the MedTech market, we realized that to be a significant player, we needed scale. We viewed M&A as a way to leapfrog several levels of organic growth.
We wanted a like-minded partner who understood our domain and had shared values. Star was a great fit, and it was clear what we could accomplish together.
We’re now working on larger-scale projects with exciting global clients, our team has found new challenges and opportunities within Star, and any concern we had at the outset was addressed and put to rest.”
FAQ
To provide the right incentives for shareholders of acquired companies to continue their career at Star for many years to come, we structure all of our transactions as majority equity deals. The specific balance between cash and equity will vary from deal to deal and depend on a number of factors.
We also structure deals on an industry-standard 3-year payout schedule, tied to milestones and/or KPIs that we agree on together.
