Merging two companies is hard work, even for someone seasoned in the practice of overseeing acquisitions. Managing a migration for the first time, however, while maintaining key employees and 95% of clients? That wins gold in the M&A Olympics (which totally exist).

Brevity Pitch CEO (and M&A gold medalist) Kelvin Johnson joins the show to share how his experience leading a M&A in only 27 days took years off his life, how fundraising has changed over the last few years, and how he found a gap in the market for helping entrepreneurs perfect their pitch.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The planning process behind M&As (mergers and acquisitions) and the key risk to mitigate


• Tips for what not to do during a merger


• What it means to separate the role from the soul


• The challenges with communication in today’s society


• A good question to ask yourself when fundraising
