    Brex’s Road to IPO and The Golden Age of M&A

    Art Levy, Molly O'Shea

    The event analyzes a surge in tech M&A activity driven by legacy players acquiring high-growth AI startups as strategic "call options," while highlighting Meta's calculated $14 billion minority stake in Scale AI to signal commitment without triggering regulatory ownership. Concurrently, the session details Brex's vertical integration strategy, which has propelled over $100 billion in payment volume and enabled its preparation for an IPO through AI-driven efficiency and stablecoin infrastructure. The discussion concludes with actionable acquisition frameworks for founders, emphasizing the critical need for decision-maker engagement during negotiations and the distinction between talent, product, and business-driven deals.
