Episode 86: Life after artisanal pork rinds (i.e. tech M&A), CostCo Down Under

Published: Jan. 30, 2017, 10 p.m.

With a flurry of M&A over the past few weeks, we discuss some of the more popular ones: AppDynamics, Trello, and Apiary. These kind of buys are all about what the acquirer plans to do with the new \u201casset\u201d and the financial health of the company being acquired. We discuss these recent acquisitions, including who the \u201closers\u201d are. Also, the low-down on CostCo in Australia!
