Startup acquisitions in the technology industry are very common occurrences. Many articles have been written about successful and unsuccessful integrations. Yet, we rarely hear about it from the product management perspective. In this fireside chat, two seasoned startup entrepreneurs and mentors Sebastien Provencher and Bruno Morency will discuss what they’ve learned as product leaders that have experienced both the buy and sell sides of M&A.

Why are you interested in participating at Product4Good?

For me, and for a very long time, being a startup entrepreneur and executive has meant giving back to the community. As Techstars says, “It’s the pay-it-forward principle that builds strong startup networks.” This event is the perfect combo of giving back to Montreal through Centraide and helping my fellow product management professionals by sharing insights. Thank you for the invitation!
