The curse of Allton Manor is a chilling tale of a haunted mansion in the English countryside. Located on the outskirts of a small village, Allton Manor has a history shrouded in darkness and mystery. Legend has it that centuries ago, the ancestral lord of the manor made a deal with the devil, resulting in a curse that would plague the estate for eternity. According to the townspeople, strange happenings and unexplained occurrences have been a common occurrence at Allton Manor ever since. Many believe that the curse manifests itself in the form of ghostly apparitions, eerie sounds, and a general feeling of unease that permeates the very walls of the old building. The curse is said to target anyone who dares to enter the manor, bringing misfortune and tragedy upon them.
Synopsis: What if I told you that the last thing you want from a potential acquirer is a term sheet? Or that the casualty of a bidding war is most likely going to be you? Or the presentation you use when you meet with investors is almost the opposite of the one you should use with strategic partners? Or that acquirers’ efforts to reduce their risk when making an acquisition can often increase the likelihood of their failure? Startup acquisitions are counterintuitive. Many of the moves your intuition would lead you to make are wrong. These bad moves can hurt, or kill, a deal. The good news is—once you’ve absorbed this book—you won’t be one of the mistake makers. This book is going to give you a framework for attracting acquisition interest, and if you choose to pursue being acquired, it’s going to show you how to optimize and close the deal.
