How frictionless dealmaking is creating a level playing field for mid-sized firms

30 November 2021 | 10:30am SGT

The idea

The spate of virtual dealmaking through COVID-19 had led to a transformational change. And while physical meetings may stage a comeback as travel bubbles emerge, technology and outsourcing some of the more time consuming and resource-intensive parts of dealmaking is expected to play a greater than ever role, particularly in addressing legal and due diligence requirements.

For mid-sized firms, this is a great opportunity to compete on an equal footing with more storied firms of a much larger size, and make a serious play for the numerous startups across the region looking to raise capital.

In partnership with Ontra, DealStreetAsia will create a webinar that will explore the move towards frictionless dealmaking and how it can particularly impact the trajectory of mid-sized firms.

The webinar will highlight some of the operational best practices that helped dealmakers across Asia tide over the pandemic. It will also also provide a forward looking view on the benefits that attend to a continued deployment of these best practices. 

The webinar will address the many advantages that freeing up bandwidth brings with it and how mid-market firms can use the time and money saved to focus on the fundamentals and business models of potential investee companies.
