In the competitive environment of technology, speed to market is often a key to success. But creating every capability internally often takes the time and skills many startups fail to have.
In this "Wharton Scale School" session, we examine when to look outside the firm for missing pieces, how to find a company with the right fit, and how to price the deal in a way that retains value.

Hear from experts who share solutions to critical challenges faced by rapidly growing companies. Learn more: whr.tn/scaleschool
