Elon Musk’s $44 Billion takeover of Twitter will be another radical shift for the software industry. In many way what has transpired in the past week reminds me of Private Equity Tech M&A in the early 2000s. There are some very important differences however.

Since then I have conducted over 50 briefings about the state of the EDI market and its key players for various private equity firms and VCs in the past 10 years.
